Its highly unlikely your 6 week test is going to change but you will need to do another test at this time to get a confirmation that you are indeed HIV negative .

From what you shared I would fully expect a negative HIV test .

The Tridot test is a very good and accurate test for screening HIV and you can rely on it .

You can expect a negative result when you test again and can use the same test . The only way you would need further testing is if you had a positive or false positive result and that's not likely to happen .

Helo sir,i could not come in contact due to internet problem,sory for that,i am back with my negative tridot test,but i apolosize that i told 90 day but actualy it was 80 days and i took 82 days tridot test,so sir,should i take this result as conclusive or do retest after 90 days? Am i going to seroconvert in these 8 days? Do masturbation or any other std delays seroconversion,because i often masturbate? Should i trust in tridot because lab technician gave me result within 10 mins? Til today i have sore throat,white tongue,cranker sore and fatigue,does ars last this long or am i late seroconverter? Should i go for elisa after 90 days? Plz help,i m very stresed and cant concentrate on anything because inspite of all,i mean all the symptoms in book i have in my body so why i am not producing antibodies to test positive in tridot? I am so afraid that i think i wil test positive after 90 days so sir plz help me,thank you...all u guys are doing great work god bless u

You are only 8 days out from 3 months so I would accept that you are  conclusively HIV negative and do not need to test again .

The average time to seroconversion is 22 days. Most who are infected will test positive by 6 weeks. For various reasons a small number will take longer and that is why we follow the CDC recommendation to test at 3 months for a conclusive negative result.

You could test again for peace of mind but your results are not going to change this late in the testing window period . A broken condom very rarely leads to a HIV infection , so with your testing history and low risk I say accept the results and move on .

None of the things you are concerned about would effect the accuracy of your HIV test , so rest easy , you don't have HIV .
