Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
You had you exposure on February, that is before 5 months. If your HIV test was non-reactive 3 months after the high risk activity,you need no further test for HIV. If it is well within 3 months, it is better repeat the same as there is a possibility of false negative during the window period.
