window period and types of hiv

I live in new York and had unprotected sex with a man 3.5 months ago. I was the bottom. I took a finger test and came negative today. The brochure I have says there are numerous types of hiv. Does the finger prick cover all these?...oh yeah I had syphilis last year..does that change anything?  Thank u so much

No you don't need to retest, if the brochure said that it is outdated.

Do I need to retest at 6mo? Brochure says just to be safe?
