Brief Answer:
HIV is negative

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Dear XXXXXXX

First and foremost let me reassure you there is no cause for concern, thing can be taken care off.
There is serological window period of 8 to 12 weeks : Time required for antibodies to be produced against HIV in infected individual. So any test which detects antibodies like ELISA or Tridot can be negative in infected individuals.
As it has been more than 12 weeks after your exposure(May 14), a negative test either Tridot or ELISA conclusively rules out HIV infection. There is no need for any further testing or intervention.

Do get back to me anytime for any further assistance

Take Care
