Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome to HCM once again.

You had an exposure on 7th May, 2016 and all your test results after 44, 87 and 301 days are negative then you need not to get tested again because this result is 100% reliable and conclusive. You are safe and risk free from HIV completely so allay the fear or anxiety, get relaxed and move on in life happily.

Thank You
