HIV Testing: Two negative tests with the time you describe mean you are HIV negative. Now a days there is better testing to relieve worries. You can be tested for HIV with an HIV RNA viral test that will close the window of possible infection to about 21 days. But, five months after an exposure and you are negative on an antibody test pretty securely means you are not HIV positive.
