A member asked:

After a potential hiv exposure, can you be confident in a negative 4th generation test at 3, 4, 5 and 6 months along with a negative pcr rna test at 10 days and 6 months? or would it be advised to test again?

You have been seriously overtested. All testing after your 4th generation test at 3 months was unnecessary. It is not possible you have HIV. Stop testing.

You have had more tests than needed and do not need to be tested more. Visit this site for info: HIV test window periods https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/hiv-testing/test-types.html
