In most of the cases, a six months period after possible risky contact is enough for the infection to be found by tests.
There are only three cases (health-care workers)in clinical practice, which seroconversion (process of developing specific anti HIV antibodies) took longer time than 6 months, and they tested HIV positive within 12 months after exposure.

There is no need to worry!
