Brief Answer:
You are 100% risk free from HIV.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

You had protected sex then there is no risk of HIV. Rapid antibody test after 130 days, tridot after 150 days and ELISA after 162 days all were negative so you are absolutely safe and 100% risk free from HIV. The results are conclusive and no further test for HIV is required so allay your fear or anxiety.

Candidal Balanoposthitis can occur normally so no need to worry. Follow the treatment as per the advice of the dermatologist and you will be fine soon. As your friend, I will also advise you to stay away from such unsafe sexual practices to prevent the future risk of HIV and other STDs.
