is this conclusive

i was tested negative with Anti-HIV test on February 19, 2010 and my exposure was on november 14, 2009. Do you think that there is a chance that this is false negative?

okay :) thank you this has been a roller coaster ride for me. thank you for your support. i think i just need time to get this off my head. sometimes when im trying not to think about it, i suddenly start thinking that i might have it and i'm just ignoring it.

one last question regarding hiv test. please. this is the last

this is my numerical results

patient's absorbance 0.33
mean negative absorbance 0.410
cut-off 1.000

are my results bordering on being equivocal? or weak positive/weak negative?

IF YOU HAD A RISK...YOUR TEST WOULD HAVE BEEN CONCLUSIVE.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO...THERE IS NO FALSE NEGATIVE AT 3 MONTHS

i was asking a hypothetical question that would reinforce the test...i'm not questioning the risk of oral sex...i'm just asking if for example, i was exposed to higher risk exposures, would the result be conclusive as well?

i mean, considering my case was of higher risk, is that result conclusive and no chance of not false negative?

not taking into account the nature of my risk (oral), do you think this is already conclusive regardless of any risk?
