Hi,
Welcome to XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
CMIA DUO is a combination of antigen and antibody test against HIV. Antigen tests are almost conclusive after 3- 4 weeks. So the negative HIV combo test ascertains that you are uninfected with HIV.
ELFA test even though it is an antibody test it is comparatively very sensitive and reveal the infection as early as 4 weeks. So all negative test confirm that you are free from HIV. There is nothing to worry. In future if you stick to safe sex you can avoid unnecessary tension regarding HIV/STDs.
