Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concern.
Since the sex worker has shown you a government book that she is HIV negative, then you don't have to worry.
As you have still doubt I would suggest you to get tri dot test repeated after 3 months of exposure. Tri dot test is accurate after 3 months of exposure. Before that the results are not taken as accurate.
If you can't wait till then (due to anxiety which is obvious) then you may go to nearby bigger city and get HIV RNA test. This will give accurate results after 2 weeks of exposure. Since 7 weeks are over, it will give you 100% accurate result. This test is more accurate than tri dot test.
Hope I have answered your query. If any further queries are there I would love to help.
Regards
Dr.Deepika Patil
