Is HIV Antibody Test Done 5 Months Post Exposure Conclusive?

Brief Answer:
It is conclusive!
Detailed Answer:

I am so sorry to hear about this exposure. Your results, 5months after are conclusive. Antibody tests are generally conclusive at the end of 3months(maximum). With yours going to 5months, there is really no further reason to be worried about it.
