Is this result conclusive?

June 2020: I had a medium-high risk where I got someone’s cum rubbed on my penis head. (He later told me he just got diagnosed with HIV.)

January 2021: I took this BIOsure test, and it read negative. (This is 200 days after the June exposure)

Is this test conclusive, or do I need to retest with a 4th gen, given I’m having symptoms such as lymph nodes swelling, and flu-like symptoms.

Hi Worried010, Apologies for the extremely delayed response. Given that your result 200 days post exposure was negative there should be no need to retest. But if it may help to put your mind at rest, there is no harm in performing another just to ease your worries. It is really up to you. Thank you for your patience. Kindest regards, Becky
