This depends on what type of HIV test you received. The fourth generation HIV IgM/IgG test is pretty accurate. Five months is a long time. Please review the following CDC website to assess your specific situation. https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/clinicians/screening/diagnostic-tests.html

It is difficult to imagine that if you are neg that you have any thing and passed anything on to your new friend. She should get tested to confirm. Pl use prophylaxis .
