Having a exposure of HIV

Sorry about my poor English. I had a HIV exposure in July 7th. And I had a 4th generation test at 38 day and 49 day. The reference s/co of the test is 0.5. But I find that most of the tests' reference s/co is 1. Both test had a negative result. Is my test reliable? Is these test enough for support that I haven't got HIV? Do I need a further test?
Thanks a lot.

The test at 3 months is more optional for you than necessary. And since your anxious go for it. Expect it to be negative.

Is a 3 months test necessary? Is recently test results not enough to say that I am not infect by HIV?

That does not matter.  All that matters is you tested negative.

Why does my test‘s reference s/co is 0.5 while the others are 1?

Your test is highly unlikely to change in the future.  Retake the test at 3 months and expect a negative.
