Unsafe exposure
I had unsafe exposure with CSW and my initial hiv rna pcr test at 13th day and hiv 4th generation test at 36th came out good i.e negative. But it is not 100% conclusive and I am going through severe anxiety.
Should I tell it to my parents? I fear that they might get depressed and I fear I might lose them. But I am very tensed about STDs

Hi..you can repeat the test at 3 months. I agree it will be a stressful period. But think twice before informing parents about it like the impact it might have on them and the change in dynamics with them.
Next Steps
consult for counseling regarding anxiety.

No need to tell. It is conclusive. Also a single sexual exposure has low chance of transmission, that is why your reports are normal. Do not worry about it. No need to tell anybody.
If your anxiety is high, you can consult for proper counselling and resolution of your doubts.
Next Steps
Consult if required
