HIV Combo Test Negative After Exposure To HIV. Can I Consider This Conclusive?

HI Doc. Greetings from India. To be brief my question is after 8 weeks of my potential exposure to HIV I had an HIV COMBO test ( antibody and antigen ). It was negative. can I consider this conclusive? Thank you very much. (My exposure was protected sex but I forgot check condom and frottage where vaginal fluids touched my penis tip)
