Please I need an answer

I have found a lot of contradictions on the inter net regarding the testing for HIV antibody.
I had an unprotected vaginal exposure.
Elisa test 9 weeks: negative
Elisa test 15 weeks: negative
(I don't know what is generation of the Elisa test)

Some will say that testing after 3 months is conclusive and others will say should be tested again at 6 months.

What is the truth ??
the internet is driving me crazy.
Should I test more ?
Please give a specific answer.
