Hello......
Thanks for your query. Considering that you had used condom as contraception, it is unlikely that you had contracted HIV even if the girl was seropositive for HIV. Further, ELISA is negative and you have also gone for PCR testing for confirmation as a precautionary measure.
You can consider a repeat at the end of 3 months considering the maximum window period for the virus. PCR is likely to give you the definitive diagnosis with precision. Hence, i would suggest you relax in the meanwhile and not be preoccupied with unwanted thoughts. Wish you good health.
