False Negative?

Anyone have an idea on the odds of two incorrect HIV tests providing a false negative result. Initial test taken at home with the Home Access test at about seven months after possible exposure. The second was taken about 16 months after possible exposure.  Should I have any concern for false negative results? Thanks for everyone's time.

Thanks. Such anxiety. Almost as if the rational part of my brain shut down.

You didn't have a false negative you tested outside the window period.

Did the results come back as 'negative"? If both did, I'll take it and run.
