HIV scare after rape

Hello I am 17 and female from the UK.

I was raped by a man I did not know 3 months ago, he used no protection and ejaculated in me.
I have a lot of stress and anxiety at the moment due to the HIV scare and the trauma.

At 2 months and a week I got a HDUO test and it was negative.
The doctor reassured me that this means negative and I am low risk.
Is this right?

The need for a repeat HIV test if still within the window period after a specific exposure should be discussed. Although fourth generation tests shorten the time from exposure to seroconversion a repeat test at three months is still recommended to definitively exclude HIV infection.

You can obtain your conclusive negative test result 3 months post exposure.
