Is The ELISA Test Result Conclusive?

I had an unprotected sexual contact with sex worker about year ago(Sep 2010). I had taken ELISA test exactly after a year on Sep 22 2011. The result was negative. My ELISA value was 0.094 and cut-off range was Negative < 0.463 < Positive. Would like to know if this one test is conclusive or do i need to take furthur tests. Kindly advice
