Probably yes: If your partner is negative for HIV, it is exceedingly unlikely s/he is infected. But even if exposed to a known infected person, a negative HIV antigen-antibody blood test (i.e. 4th generation test) is usually conclusive by 4 weeks and always conclusive 6 weeks or more after the last exposure.
