Brief Answer:
Final test and no need of more test

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You had taken a HIV 1/2 & P24 Antigen combo test. This is a new technology method of testing HIV even within the window period unlike the regular / widely used ELISA which tests only antibodies.

P24 is antigen based testing so they will detect HIV even before the body reacts to form antibodies. It is non reactive all three times.

Hence your blood does not contain HIV antigen or antibodies. Since there is no antigen to form antibodies there is no need to repeat the test.
