Probably conclusive: Sounds like you are being overtested. Use condoms for vaginal or anal sex, and stop getting tested after individual exposures. Instead, have a routine test from time to time, maybe once a year. In any case, a 4th generation (duo, combo) test is conclusive any time 4+ weeks after exposure. 3rd generation antibody tests are conclusive at 6-8 weeks, although official advice says 3 months.
