I Had 3 Tests. First : PCR Test On 10th

I had 3 tests.

First : PCR test on 10th day after contact(The one that gives you answer in couple of days).
Second : Rapid Anti HIV 1/2 test after 3 months.
Third : Rapid test after approximately 8 months.

All results were negative.
Reason behind my third test was that I found 5-6 molluscums on my arm. I got scared and got tested couple days after I saw it. Don't know when it appeared but as soon as I saw it, waited couple of days and got tested with rapid test. Result was negative.
I may also have gotten molluscums from my wrestling training but still, I'm anxious.

Did I get tested right? Was 3rd test in reasonable time(Do rapid tests work after 6 months is passed)? Some people told me that first two were enough to say I was negative but I'm still anxious.
I had doctor remove my molluscums.
