What are the risks of hiv, doctor? 106 days of the 3rd generation rapid test. can i be sure 100 % hiv free? because in my country it is recommended to test 6 after a risky event?

Yes, the modern HIV antibody tests (third generation) are conclusive any time 8 weeks or more after the last possible exposure. Whether in your country or anywhere else, it is not necessary to wait until 6 (months?) for conclusive testing. Your negative result proves 100% you were not infected.
