I'm just curious about how reliable the HIV rapid test is at the six-month mark, like after 180 days. Can you share if it's considered conclusive by then?

No it's not confirmatory, it's screening test, confirmatory test would be ELISA.

View allI 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.
When she is negative there is almost zero chances of you getting the disease,no need to worry get yourself tested for every 6 months
