At 2 years after exposure a negative 4th gen DUO test is sufficient. You do not need more tests. Visit this site for info: HIV test window periods https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/hiv-testing/test-types.html

Yes, genexpert is a nucleic acid test. The negative result shows you do not have HIV, especially if you also have had a negative antibody or antigen-antibody test.
