Numerous people can be exposed to COVID-19 and not develop full-blown infection or any symptoms. This especially happens in younger individuals. Trust you were tested? Due to exposure, you are advised to quarantine for 10-14 days if asymptomatic.

I would not assume that you are not infected because you are currently asymptomatic. You could remain symptom free or develop symptoms later on. Continue your quarantine.
