  In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results

You were already told the HIV window period is 3 months post--exposure.Whoever is telling you 6 months has no knowledge of HIV testing periods.6 months is outdated--end of story.
