After 10 weeks (70 days) of unprotected sex with a sex worker, I took a 4th generation HIV assay test at SRL Lab, and the result was non reactive. How safe am I from HIV after 90 days? Is there any chance that the HIV test could become positive after 90 days? Can the SRL Lab report at 70 days be considered reliable? I have attached the report for reference.

My HIV test report shows HIV antibodies not found in 2 of the 3 methods used, and the overall report says HIV negative. What does this mean?

I had sexual intercourse with a sex worker 25 days ago. Can I take an HIV 1 RNA PCR test now to get an accurate assessment of my HIV status?
