Go for CLIA based test. Rapid kit is also sufficient but kits are not reliable. I would suggest you to go to NABL approved lab and get it done.

According to CDC USA... hiv antigen or antibody tests become positive by 3 to 4 weeks... So the answer is yes at 230 days of exposure if u r still negative that means u r not infected
Next Steps
try avoiding such exposure ...
avoid polygamy, use condoms
if a health care professional, use gloves , be careful n avoid needle prick by following all protocols and being calm and focused while working
