hi,
generally after 3 months antibodies will develop after infection, so these antibody detecting tests like rapid test, ELISA test, western blot tests will come positive after about 3 months.
in your case probably then have done rapid test. rapid test have false positivity, generally false negativity is not common.
you better get the western blot test. i can not comment on the Bangladesh governmentt hospital as i am not much aware of that.

wishing you good health
