The newer tests are accurate 10-14 days after infection.
These tests are available at:

Now, even if a partner has a recent negative test result they might have been infected very recently-but the risk of that is fairly small-as is the risk of them transmitting it to someone before their next test(say if they get tested every 30-90 days).
Condoms and testing both carry risks. You can minimize that risk by using both.
