Brief Answer:
Go for Western blot test.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your query and concern.
Negative antibody test in your case on successive occasions on 83rd and 95th day virtually rules out HIV .
But the definitive/confirmatory result can be obtained through Western blot test.
This test is absolutely conclusive after 3 month period.
Antibody test has cross reactivity with the test reliability,but western blot as no cross reactivity with antibiotics/injections for flu.
Antibody test is 95% reliable,where as Western blot(antigen test) is 99.9% reliable.
Western blot is highly specific test unaffected by treatment taken for flu.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.

You can have western blot as of now
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your concern.
The chance of acquiring HIV is through small finger cut is very negligible, often less than 0.03%.
Yes, its true that antibody test will show positive results within 64 days. But in most cases positive results are shown up within 90 days.
Yes as of now, you can get a Western blot test to know your status, this test is positive as early as 3-4 weeks.
