Yes the test result is definitely conclusive.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome to Ask a Doctor Service.

Kissing even deep is no risk activity for HIV and the combo test result after 8 months of exposure is also negative then you need not to worry at all because you are absolutely safe and risk free from HIV.

The test result is conclusive as the window period for HIV varies from 15 days to 3 months so just calm down, forget the episode and live your life normally. If still any quey is there feel free to ask me again.

Thank You
