Home pregnancy tests administered a week after a missed period are usually quite accurate. Consult with your OBGYN for further guidance.

If you did the test correctly, you are not pregnant. If you have any doubt, get a blood test for HCG level to settle the issue.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
