Can I Get HIV Inspite Of Having Unprotected Sex?

I had a girlfriend...I thought she was...we had unprotected sex...I would say 5 times in 2 month period. One day she started telling me stories about her past love life, and my mouth just hit the floor. She says she always used protection but not with me and I could not believe it...and also told me that her baby daddy was a heroin user....I am digressing. I decided to get tested quickly by having the unigold rapid test and then I went to my PC and told him the situation. He ordered a bunch of test for common std s and hep c...I think and the hiv test HIV AB/AG COMBO RFLX CONF...both of these test came back negative. I had the test done in Nov 18 I remember the times I had sex with her...18 sep, 21 sep 3 oct 8 oct and the last time 5 nov I cant remember... My question is does this test (HIV AB/AG COMBO RFLX CONF)check for p24 antigens and would I have already developed HIV antibodies..at 3 weeks....also I had a Unigold done at 9 December and I came back negative..Do I have HIV

Hello. Thanks for posting your query at our health forum.
I understand your concern.
The HIV combo test, that you underwent, is the best one widely used now, and it turns positive within 2 weeks. Since it came out negative, you have nothing to worry about.
Hope this is helpful,
Regards
