No, hiv test is considered officially conclusive for negative results until at least 90 days after your last suspected exposure to the virus. Both rapid (point of service) tests and lab tests are very sensitive. They react to either antigens or antibodies. It may take time for your body to produce sufficient antibodies to be detected. By 21 days after exposure, most people with hiv will test positive. By 6 weeks after exposure, almost all people with hiv will test positive. Both of your tests took place after the 6-week mark, so it is very highly unlikely that you could have hiv. A final test at or after 90 days would be conclusive, however, according to current public health agency recommendations.
