Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic. I have gone through the details and can make out your anxiety.

If the intercourse is protected the chances of transmission of HIV is nil.You can allay fears if no other risk exposure.
Elisa tests at 4 & 6 weeks is not conclusive though helpful.Conclusive results will be after 3 months.

If the person is negative there is no chance of transmission.
You can go for HIV 1&2 RNA PCR at this stage to relieve your anxiety.

You can get back for any clarification.
