HIV Testing question

I had an exposure to HIV through a needle stick.  I did not take pep because it was about a week after the incident when I found out of the persons status.  I got tested at my doctors office at 11 and half weeks or 80 days after exposure.  Would this be enough for a conclusive result? I am starting to think if i should go in for a six month test now just to be safe.

Thanks for your response but needle sticks are considered a risk.

They may be "considered" a theoretical risk, BUT a needle stick is not a risk unless you are injected with infected material.

again you had NO RISK
