Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

Almost all the HIV tests are quite reliable with high sensitivity and specificity as well as the immuno assay.
A negative test, 6 months after the high risk contact, totally ruled out the possibility of HIV and you can relax and carry on to your normal routine without any stress. Forget about that incident.
