Question

I've been really anxious about my HIV status, so I went for tests at different times. I had an ELISA test on the 14th day, a CMIA test on the 32nd day, and another CMIA test on the 41st day after what I think was my last exposure. All of them came back negative. Can I trust these results and consider them conclusive? Also, how reliable is the CMIA combo test in general?

Question

I had a situation a few months ago where I was with a prostitute and the condom broke during sex. The next day, I took her for an HIV test, and thankfully, it came back negative. Since then, I've been really anxious about it even though I've had no symptoms. Can you help me understand what the chances are of something being wrong? I'm trying to calm my nerves but it's tough not knowing.
