If i test negative at 6 months for hiv with combo from hospital lab could i still have hiv? just keep worrying about it so many people say different?

You did not get HIV from the exposure 6 months ago. Only blood bank test a one year after exposure. Most people do not recommend testing after a negative test after 45 days. For info: HIV test window periods https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/hiv-testing/test-types.html
