Brief Answer:
As per the reports all major STDs are ruled out, if it is beyond W-P
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
I went through the reports sent by you.
As per the reports, you are free from Major STis like HIV, Hepatitis B and C, Syphilis, Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Ureaplasma, Mycoplasma, Candidal infection and Herpes Simplex etc.
Gardenella Vaginalis will not have any manifestations in men. If you are a married man it is better to get a course of treatment for Gardenella Vaginalis (a minor STI).
Moreover the results can be considered conclusive only when these tests had been checked after the window period. Especially this is true with HIV, HBV, HCV and Syphilis. Molecular tests can be considered as confirmed.

Brief Answer:
You are free from HIV 1 and other STIs
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
You had your tests 2 months after your sexual exposure.
This is quite ok for the STD panel and for RPR (Syphilis) and it is conclusive that you are free from the above infections.
You had the HIV 4th generation Combo test which is a highly reliable test. Eventhough it can detect both HIV 1 and 2, the reliability of the test with regards to HIV 1 (HIV 1 is more prevalent upto 99.5%) as it is detecting P24 antigen of HIV 1 is almost 100%, whereas it can detect only the antibodies against HIV 2 (prevalence is less than 1%) which appear after the window period which may be delayed up to 12 weeks.
So if you want to rule out HIV 2 also (though a very rare possibility), it is better to repeat the tests (also for HBV and HCV) 3 months after the exposure. So that it becomes more conclusive.
