Detailed Answer:
Hello! I have been through your question.

The 4 th generation HIV test is very conclusive after 6 month if you have a lot of risk sexual intercourse.
So based on this I think you shouldn't worry because you are fortunately free of HIV.

I hope my answer helps you.

Please don't worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hello! Thank you writing back in healthcaremagic.

It is a good news that you have negative result in 4th generation tests after 2 weeks and 12 weeks.
Related your concern you should know that usually making 4 th generation test 12 weeks after the exposure is very conclusive.
So, you shouldn't worry but based on your history ( multiple unprotected vaginal sex and unprotected anal sex as well chlamydia) I suggest just to be more confident to do a 4th generation test after 6 months from exposure (which has a high probability of being negative).

I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.

No, it is not necessary.

Hello! Thank you writing back in healthcaremagic.

No, it is not necessary to do a 4th generation test after 6 months if you have multiple unprotected vaginal sex with one person.
It is very conclusive having this test after 3 months in this situation.

I hope my answer helps you.
