My risky last sexual exposure was on 24/03/2020. First time hiv ELISA test on 05/06/2020 that is exactly 70 days from last sexual exposure. Second time hiv ELISA test on 23/07/2020 that exactly 120 days from last sexual exposure.Both the reports came non reactive. Do I need worry about the window period or Is it conclusive?

The window period is usually from 3 weeks to 3 months. Ideally you can get a 4th generation ELISA including the p24 antigen test.
