What Are My Chances Of Being Infected By HIV After Bitten On My Lip?

I had a Ag/ab combo Hiv test after 20 days of my risks which are being biten at the lips by a massage worker and having a handjob. The test turned out to be negative but I'm still worry that it is not accurate. So may I ask you that is the test accurate after 20 days and can I get Hiv from my risks.

YA at 20 days its not able to detect hiv ab. But there is rarest of the rare chance to spread infection by biting. So forget biting.you are unlikely to be infected from hiv. And use safe sex practice.

Theoretical definite risk is there. However practicality very rare chance almost nil. Your ag ab combo test is specigic but minimum 30 days window period is there. At 20 days it may be false positive. But dont worry its negligible chance practicaly. So forget that. Dont worry.
