You are still positive weather asymptomatic or symptomatic and should stay away from everyone as you are a carrier and could infect anyone even if they are vaccinated. Test again in 10 or more days.

I agree, if positive self isolate,rest, drink fluids and watch for signs of shortness of breath, prolonged cough. Test again at day 10 to 14.

I think the other doctors misunderstood you question. You were infected almost 3 weeks ago and you want to visit two relatives who were recently tested positive. If it was me, I would not postpone my trip. But if I was your doctor, I would advise you postpone the trip until the last infected relative becomes asymptomatic. I believe in natural immunity but as a doctor I have to protect my patient.
