Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you writing in healthcare magic.

You shouldn't worry because having all negative HIV test results as well a HIV combo test after 6 weeks of exposure are very accurate.

But, you should know that according the guidelines you should do a 4th generation HIV test after 3 months as a conclusive test.

I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
