This depends on the type of test and also the result. A negative result means you were HIV negative up until 2-3 months before the test was carried out. So you need to consider risks that might have occurred more recently, and take another test in 3 month to cover that period too.
Sometimes positive test results from a rapid test (where you get the result within an hour) can be false-positive. A second sample is then sent for a more accurate confirmatory test.
If your first test took several days or a week or two to get the result, then a positive result is a true result as the confirmatory test would have been run at the same lab.
