Confirmation on HIV
I am Male-40.
I had unprotected sex and since then worried if I am infected with HIV. It happened on 19-Sep-2017. I carried out Rapid test with Tri-Dot method on 21-Dec-2017 (exactly 3 months after exposure) and result came out to be negative. I would like to confirm if this result is accurate and I am safe. Do I require any additional test? I have been feeling sick on and off recently (cold, cough, sore throat, body ache etc.....could be b'se of weather change), so I am worried.

Yes you need a more spacific and sensitive test than tridot as it is not so sensitive in early stages.
