Hi Masoud;
welcome to Health care Magic forum.There is one thing in medical science known as incubation/window period i.e. period from inoculation of infection to time sign & symptoms of infection starts .It varies from disease to disease.Similarly HIV also has long incubation period.So is advised to get tested after the incubation period.early negative testing is immaterial.Disclaimer
hi Masoud;
welcome to HealthcareMagic
HIV test is better done after 4-6 months after the exposure which is the window period .So better do it afterwards you will get a better idea.Please wait for few more days then you repeat the test or can do Western Blot;or a PCR to get confirmation.
thanks
