worried sick

I had unprotected sex on march 29 was tested at my doctor on April 30 every thing was negitive. I retested with home test may 14 (today) that too was negitive. Im just having trouble with anxiety about the situation. How accurate are these test. I have no symptoms other than the ones I have had from my anxiety disorder.  I just want a piece of mind.

As you were told, please repeat the test after 12 weeks of exposure to receive a conclusive result. Your test result is reassuring but not conclusive.

I did today I was negitive.  Went to my primary care doctor after 33 days after unprotected sex and was tested for everything and all those were negitive

Home test isn't accurate before 3 months post exposure.

Your 6 weeks test is highly reassuring and it is very highly unlikely to change otherwise. However still the test can not be considered as "conclusive", for which, you need to repeat it after another 6 weeks, and it would not be different from what you have received so far.
