After exposure unprotected sex with unkonw status i get some symptoms but teste negative after 6 months and 8 montsh too on hiv can i rule out hiv ? 4th gen tests?

If you have not had any more recent exposure, then the incidence from 8-months ago is highly unlikely for HIV based on your two negative tests at 6&8 months out. It is never too late to be cautious. We live in quite a dangerous world now. Good luck.

Correctly done 4th gen test at 6 months after exposure rules out HIV from that episode of sex. Get HPV, Flu and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines
