That is difficult question, having some emotional elements.Considering the case history of yours ,to dispel your anxiety , would suggest you to visit to a nearest counselling centre and get yourself tested as per NACO Protocol. You are a perfect case of ignorance about HIV and that is why you need a counseling as well as testing.There you would be detailed about knowledge og HIV --how spread and how not apart from your consent taken before you submit yourself for ELISA.
Your case history--It is more than 7 months ( I presume the exposure tool place in Nov,2013) ,there have been no obvious symptoms of yours suggestive of any Acute HIV syndrome ,your boy friend is not a known HIV positive and there is no mention of modality of unsafe sex--vaginal or anal which carry different % of risk . So taking into account of all these factors -I guess your ELISA would be definitely come negative. You must go for testing of HIV after proper counselling and am sure you will come out more knowledgeable and confident to keep yourself HEALTHY and away from HIV .
