The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.
If you do not engage in any of the activities I mentioned above with someone HIV+ or whose HIV status is unknown to you, you will NEVER have to worry about getting HIV. There is no "what if" question that you could imagine about this event that would make it a risk for HIV.
Any HIV test you take at any time will be conclusive, and negative, since you never had a risk for HIV.
