Had a protected sex with a CSW of unknown HIV status. Worried about HIV/STD infection. I have done an HIV RNA PCR quantitative on 14th day and HIV RNA was not detected. Also performed antigen-antibody combo test on 22nd day and got it negative. Would this ease my tension. Done all STD checks and got result as negative.

Hello. It takes about 3 months to develop antibodies for HIV. So though RNA test can be done earlier, still you must repeat the tests after 3 months.
