Are The Present HIV Results A Good Indication Of Infection Status?

Hi, I tested for HIV using the OraQuick at home test one week prior to the 3 month window mark. The results were negative. I plan on testing again at the 6 month mark just to be sure, but for a little peace of mind are the results a good/ decent indication of my status since it was a week early?
