It's possible for the body to not have produced enough antibodies for the test to detect. Test again at 12/13 weeks post exposure and the test will be conclusive.

If you tested negative at 7 weeks, you should be very, very, very reassured.  If you are unable to accept anything less than 100% absolute certainty, test again later.
