Brief Answer:
Yes you are completely safe now and your antibody test result is conclusive
Detailed Answer:
Dear Rktc,
Welcome to HCM.
Antibodies against HIV would appear in the blood by 6-8 weeks or may be delayed up to 3 months in the presence of infection.
You got tested with rapid antibody tridot test after 97 days post exposure and the result was negative so it is conclusive and you are completely safe from HIV.
You need not to go for further testing now and can do unprotected sex with your wife. So be relaxed and move ahead in your life happily.
Thank You
