The index values are actually not important when given a non-reactive or negative HIV result. An increase in the index value from one test to the next does not mean that the virus is multiplying and that eventually you will test positive. This value can increase and decrease from test to test but an increase does not mean that you will eventually test positive. Non-reactive means the test was not able to detect any HIV antibodies. So, the only thing that is important is that both of your tests came back negative. According to international guidelines, HIV test results are conclusive at three months (12 weeks or 84 days) post exposure. You indicated that your last test was in January and seeing as the exposure was at the end of August you have past the three month mark. You can therefore rest assured that you did not acquire HIV from this exposure and do not need to retest.
