Brief Answer:
thank you so much for asking your question I will do my best to help you

Detailed Answer:
in general, if the antibody test was negative three months after the exposure, you can be quite certain that you are truly negative. if you have had tests at six months which are still negative, you can certainly be confident that you are fine. I hope this answers your question, please let me know if you have any more questions.
