A member asked:

Hiv test after 6 months conclusive ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HIV: Yes. Except for rare instances (and these are in some question), testing negative at 6 months ensures an absence of disease. If you want to be absolutely certain you can spend the money and have pcr for viral RNA done. This will guarantee you are negative if it is not detectable.
