You tested negative at the correct time frame - 3 months. You didn't need to test any further from there.

The information given to you was incorrect, you don't need to test post 3 months.

You got the right test and it looked for every thing, you don't have HIV.

Yes. ELISA irrespective of the generation does look for all strains and subtypes. You are not listening again, you don't have HIV.
