Should I test again for hiv?

Question

Asked for Male, 20 Years

I’ve had unprotected sex with people I don’t know well and don’t even have good contact with to reach again so this is kind of stressing me out. I was tested with an 4th generation av/ab test with reflex 40 days after the last time I had sex with someone in that manner. I’ve had no symptoms and I’ve been going raw with a new person in my life right after that test was taken. She has not been ill a single day for the past 2.5 months we’ve been having sex. Should I test again to be sure anyways?

Hello Its would be better if you get an antibody test repeated after 3 months of exposure to be on safer side.
