Query regarding HIV combo test

Question

Asked for Male, 25 Years

I was injected mistakenly by a contaminated needle on 27th June 2019 . Doubting the needle's cleanliness I went for a HIV comb test after 56 days of the administration of the needle from my nearest ICTC centre. The test result were negative. So should I go for the test again as the staff at ICTC centre told me that if there is a direct contact with infected HIV blood then it shows up on the blood report after 28 days. But I want to get a specialist advice in this case. What should be now done ?
