Dr Hook responded me "With a negative test on August 25, there is no way that you could have transmitted HIV on August 1."

 I understand if I could have been contagious on August 1st, I should already have RNA in my blood, meaning 7-11 days of infection, and from there, the p24 antigen should appear in a few days, right? And it shouldn't take, for example, more than 3 weeks?

I would like you to explain it to me a bit because I'm about to finally understand it and move on.

I also understand that for me to have been contagious on August 1st, I would have needed to have been infected around July 23rd/24th, which would be about 32/33 days since my test. At that point, a result in a healthy person is practically conclusive, right?

Thanks so much again
