Question

Does a non-reactive test after 6 months mean I am HIV-negative?

i had sexual exposure in august 2007.
i went for antibody test at the end of three month,the result was non-reactive.
again
i went for antibody test at the end of six month,the result was non-reactive.
after the incident in august2007 i have not involved myself in any risky behaviour .
is this result reliable enough to consider myself hiv negative. do i need further testing?
