I suggest you have an antibody test now and if it's negative move on.Don't worry about the WB results--you were not supposed to have those tests anyway--they are confirmatory tests.

Go for the HIV DNA PCR or P24 antigen test, it is more costly but these tests give conclusive results 2-3 weeks after exposure and your well past the window period for these tests.
