HIV TESTING

I recently had a high risk exposure; the guy was positive since 2009. He did not mention it to me until after the fact. They stated they were on Meds.  I did purchase HIV Home Test kit at two and 4 weeks; both are negative.  No symptoms besides nervousness.  My question is that I have been reading so much, in fact, to much about 1 time exposures possibly not leading to exposure.  Of course 1 time could lead to contracting the virus.  Should I continue to wait until three months before drawing final conclusion or I could still be infected and antibodies not present.

Unprotected Anal.  I tested again at 6 weeks it was negative. I will now wait another 6 weeks for it to be conclusive. So far I  am hopeful that I will remain negative. Thanks for asking.
