Hiv: Hiv- elisa will be negative for first six months after exposure. Therefore, checking 'hiv-pcr viral load' will be the correct option for you, to clear doubt with certainty. Good luck !

You are safe.: If antibody test is persistently negative, you are most likely safe. In very early period after transmission, antibody test can be negative but if it is persistently negative even at 6 months 10 days, odds of HIV are very very low.
