Hello Dr. HHH,

I got an hiv test as you ha e suggested and below is the time line of the activity just as a refresher for my case. 

Protected incident: July 14
PEP initiated: July 16
PEP completed: August 13

First HIV test: July 23(as part of guidelines)

Latest HIV test: October 4
Days completed after incident while testing: 83
Days completed after PEP while testing: 53

The latest HIV 1/2 Antigen/Antibody,4th gen W/RFL: Non-Reactive. 

Is this test conclusive that I’m not infected and I can take my head off of this and move on? Just curious since the NP who was working with me said I have to come back for more tests at 6, 12 and 18 months. Is this the case since my exposure was low risk?

PS: my previous question was closed before the responses were completed due to no activity. 

Thank you again for your help!!
