If years per DNA test it comes back negative, you may re-test at the 3 month mark for conclusive results. International guidelines state that an HIV test is considered definite and conclusive when taken 3 months after an exposure. You may opt to get an antibody test done e.g. 3rd Generation ELISA or Rapid Test. Scientifically speaking, we cannot say that these tests have a 100% accuracy, but they do an excellent job at detecting infection (99%+) provided they are taken at the right time.
