window period

I had an unprotected oral sex n got a scratch from the other person who I doubted might got a bit in his nail.I felt nervous n went for RT PCR after 6weeks which didn't detect any virus.Also same time I took an ELISA test negative.Can anybody tell me if I am safe from HIV?I saw the info from US CDC saying that exposure on average after 25 days the antibody can be detected.Sigh,i am still worried.Anybody help me n give comments?Thank you.
