Almost conclusive: Almost certainly you do not have HIV; the tests you had are nearly 100% conclusive any time more than 28 days after the last possible exposure. However, on rare occasions the Ag/Ab (4th generation) blood tests take 6 weeks to turn positive. So if it was truly a high risk exposure and/or you would like further reassurance, have another test at that time.
