P24 Antigen test and HIV PCR after 5 weeks and 25 days are very much conclusive. These tests ruled out the possibility of HIV 1 infection. HIV 1 infection is common up to 99.5%. HIV 2 is very very rare and less than 0.5%. If you want to rule out HIV 2 also, you can go for Rapid test or Elisa after 12 weeks
Slip of the condom did not have any extra risk for HIV.
