should I get retested?

Thank you all people here for helping us. Now to my question. I will try to be brief. I had protected sex with a girl (insertive vaginal and brief insertive anal), so this was not a risk. A few days before that, she had a jaw bone surgery. During deep kissing, I tasted blood but we didn't stop. That was before having sex. After having sex, we deep kissed again and this time there was a large amount of blood from her wound. I tried to spit most of it and she called her dentist because she couldn't stop the wound from bleeding.  About 3 weeks after that incident I had a rash in my torso, hands and feet. Small red maculopapular spots. I took an hiv only antibodies test (I don't know the generations of the tests here in Greece, 2nd or 3rd I mean) 59 days after the exposure described and it came back negative. Should I get retested? Thank you all in advance

Thanks a lot Teak. I know that you've repeatedly answered that, but I am anxious because many scientists claim that blood which comes in contact with mucous membranes (at the mouth for example) poses a risk. Anyway, thank you again!
