Nearly but not quite: Testing for HIV never is conclusive until there is a negative antibody test result in addition to direct tests for the virus, such as RNA testing (if done). Your results probably are 99% reliable, but to be conclusive, have an antibody test ("3rd generation") or antigen-antibody ("4th gen").
