Hi.
Some women test negative until their 3rd month of pregnancy, and home pregnancy tests can provide such results purely because they detect on hCG levels in the urine. You can choose to have a blood test to check on hCG levels, but I do not think that will help much either.
If your period does not appear by the 6th week from the unprotected sexual contact, then go ahead with an ultrasound scan which can confirm the pregnancy. Do not take any medications in the meantime.
Best wishes.
