could it just be paranoia

i am a 23 y.o female and i had an incident of unprotected sex in April 07. Well we started with protection and mid- way through the condom came off, the individual did not ejaculate in me but i am now very worried about hiv.I went to get tested at 9 weeks and it was negative and again at 20 weeks ( 5 months) still negative. My question is that i want to know if i should get tested again at 6 months just to be sure or is 5 months conclusive enough to put my mind at ease because it seems as though my uneasiness is turning into severe anxiety. I also did the rapid test...i don't know if that makes a difference? The individual also said they got tested just to be sure of his status and he said it was negative...but part of me doesn't really believe.. him..maybe just skeptical? So perhaps u can put my mind at rest.

You do not need further testing. You are HIV negative.
