If I may add.. The western blot is a confirmatory test that is done after the initial ag/an test.. Looks like what you received initially could be a false +ve.. Since your western blot is -ve.. In my opinion you should be home free..

12 weeks, 90 days or 3 month test per international guidelines are conclusive...  I'm not sure what you are looking.
