No you don't need further testing. You 3 month post exposure test was conclusive.

Sorry to trouble you again..just to get hiv awareness
If fresh body fluids ( blood / semen / saliva / sweat / tears / urine ) of an infected person directly fell into my fresh cuts / mouth / eyes, is there any chance of transmission ??
