When is it 100% certain that i didnt catch hiv from sex? i test with a combo lab test at 5.5 months?

The sensitivity of the test is 99% so you still have 1% chance of infection. I assume you do not have any symptoms but if you are absolutely sure about the exposure (not questionable), another negative test will rule out the infection (chance of false negative result will be 1/10,000 for 2 negative tests).
