Window period is calculated after several studies on HIV seroconversion after exposure. The highest is 90 days. The test you have done after 9 weeks of exposure is not conclusive. To better understand the risk and consequences of STDs and HIV, please take private consult with audio video chat and then I can guide you properly and explain you what is to be done.
