Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum
your question is not clear but if your RNA PCR is negative then no need to worry. but for mental satisfaction you can repeat the test after a week or so. HiV can be spreaded only and only if your partner is infected. though you dont know her and there was some risk of open wounds you should repeat the test in another laboratory.
I hope I answered your query. Wish you good health.
