thank you for query.usually the tests done for pre employment tests will be for antibodies.So it will be for both HIV 1 and 2 .It has been done after 7 months and is negative .it implies that there are no antibodies formed even after 7 months of exposure.It is conclusive that you are free from HIV and you can allay fears of HIV Totally.If the lab in Private hospitals is accredited or well established lab you can rely totally on it.You can get back to me for any clarifications with the details.Dr Bharatesh D Basti Dermatologist and Venereologist
