Hi Devanshu,
Welcome to HCM.
All the ICTC results are highly reliable and as you had the negative result after 4 months of exposure, you need not worry. Further test is not necessary unless you have a fresh exposure. Only disposable syringes are being used in all centers, so there is nothing to worry about also.
Keep remembering safe sex always and relax yourself.
Wish you a great day.
