Do TWO false positive ELISA tests mean I'm okay?

I had unprotected insertive vaginal, with a lady a few times. I then had a flu like illness with a flat rash on my chest and stomach.
A few weeks after that I tested and it was a positive ELISA with negative Western Blot.
I went back to test again 7 months after the prior test which again had a positive ELISA, with negative Western Blot. Given the time I waited for the second test, should I test again or is it conclusive?

The Western Blot is a confirmatory test that is more specific than the ELISA. If your Western Blot is NEG, then that is your true status.
Your 2nd test was taken 4mos after the window period which means this result is beyond conclusive.
Woo-hoo and congrats!
