I've been a bit anxious about my recent test results. My p24 for HIV-1 came back negative at 45 days, and the HIV-1 and 2 antibody test was also negative at 50 days. Should I still be considering any further checkups or follow-ups? I'm trying to make sure I'm not missing anything and would really appreciate your advice.

It is unlikely that you have been infected with HIV. However, it is generally recommended to confirm these results with another test after 90 days to be completely sure. No further checkup is needed at this time.
