HIV Enzyme Immunoassay (MICROELISA test), interpreting result?

I did the HIV test through Enzyme Immunoaasay(MICROELISA). , 5 months and 8 days after the unprotected sex.

My result is 0.31, which interprets NON-REACTIVE.
As MICROELISA test, cut-off value is 1.0.

At the same time I did VDRL test too. And it is NON-REACTIVE.

My questions are:

1. Should I have to take another test to complete the window period of 6 months?

2. How conclusive my HIV result, knowing I did the test 5 months and 8 days?

3.Could it be that I had just not reached the threshold or window period because I did the test 5 months and 8 days and the value will go up by time it reach 6 months or more?

4. How accurate is MICROELISA test?

5. Why was the value of my reading is not 0 since its non-reactive?

6. Does having 0.31 means having a little detection of the virus?

Please answer my questions.
Its really nerve wrecking.
Loosing a lot of sleep about it as my medical examination is approaching for scholarship grants in other country.

Your answers is deeply appreciated and great help too.

from,

Thank you for replying me back from the bottom of my heart. I am totally freak out about this. But anyway teak thank you. I read some reactions and comments about how others exaggerates things even if they have non-reactive result. The purpose that I post my questions is not to make nuisances. Just querries though I realize I am into that point, freaking out without reason.  But anyway teak, I want to say thank you. You bring me ease and peace of mind now. I will never make any nuisance in this website. I respect those who like you patiently answers my questions. Thank you teak.
