Yes, it would have been mentioned, and a followup test would've been required.
You took the right test at the right time and got a 100% definitive result.

Please don't get irritated..I have been under lot of stress and I am Actly now free of hiv. only want to make sure. So I won't think about it later.

Yes they would mention as they will retest then!
You probably had a 4th generation ((DUO)) test. At four months even if you'd had a 3rd gen test it would be 100% conclusive.
Either way, all you need to know is that you are conclusively negative.

Okay..thanks for info..
Just one more doubt my lab report was like
result column - non reactive
lab refrence column - non reactive
Is non reactive universal word for showing person is not infected?
