If your sex was protected then of course results will be negative, there was no need to test in the first place.  Also a Western Blot test is not the test required for HIV, to accurately and conclusively test for HIV you need to take a HIV anti body test at 12 weeks.

Can you explain what you mean by the following: "Also a Western Blot test is not the test required for HIV, to accurately and conclusively test for HIV you need to take a HIV anti body test at 12 weeks."  Is the Western Blot OK to be used for HIV testing?

Western Blot test are confirmative tests used to confirm positive test results.
