Good morning , i had sex with a guy unprotected i was bottom ""thought it was something worth mentioning "" it was only one time and my last ,, this happened at 25 april ,, I didn’t have any symptoms of anything nonetheless I had an hiv test at
17 june (6 weeks ) , 17 july (11 weeks) , 31 july ( 13 weeks ) , 29 august (18 weeks) , 1 september ( 18 weeks ) , 9 september (19 weeks ) , 11 september ( 19 weeks ) ,, so about 7 test and all came back negative ,, my questions is when are hiv test conclusive ? ,, are these test reliable and conclusive ? if they are it means I cant transfer any disease to my future partners right ? and if I masterbate and semen came on my hand then I touched my mouth can this cause hiv ?
-- note i also did every other tests also ( rectal swab and urine test) all came back negative

Welcome to our Forum and thanks for your questions. Your 7 negative tests conclusively prove that your April encounter did not result in HIV infection. Each single test was conclusive. There is no reason for continuing concern and certainly no reason for further testing. You are in the clear and there is no risk of HIV to future partners.
HIV cannot cause infection by the transfer of infected secretions from one part of the body to another through transfer of infected secretions on the hands or fingers.
I hope this information is helpful. Take care. EWH

Actually, running the test only takes a few hours. The 2-3 day interval for results reflects time for specimen transport, processing, and transfer of results. You did well to get your results back on the same day. Have confidence in the results. EWH ---

This is a repetitive question. I said before and will say again, your results are reliable and conclusive. Same day results are a good thing. Believe your results, todo not hav HIV!!! EWH ---
