Negative: The 4th generation HIV tests are the most sensitive tests modern medicine has to offer for any disease. False negative rates are essentially 0 and re-testing repeatedly is not helpful unless you've had repeated risky contacts. The test combines HIV RNA (virus itself) detection with antibody detection, so a waiting period is not necessary after exposure as was the case with older tests.
