You can quit testing for HIV. The testing you have done rules out HIV from the exposure 52 days ago, however, HIV is only one of the STDs. A condom may not protect against HPV, Herpes, LGV, syphilis, pubic lice etc. It would be prudent to see your doctor for an evaluation.

There are no medical conditions (and no drugs) that alter the reliability or timing the HIV antibody or AgAb tests -- zero, none, including Covid. You have been over tested and the results prove you do not have HIV. No more testing, please.
