Hi, dear.
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your result of hiv testing is negative. But you are tested with antibodies test. So in window period it can be negative. So right now you are negative for hiv but you should repeat the test after 3 month.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
