Rapid HIV tests. PLEASE help!

Can anyone please give me any information about the accuracy of rapid HIV tests ( particularly the unigold finger prick).
I've had a negative result at 3, 6, and 12 months post exposure, but for some reason, I can't get the HIV scare out of my mind. I keep thinking they were either done incorrectly or were false negatives. Should I do a regular ELISA blood test?
Also, why is it that they use just a few drops of blood in the rapid tests, but more blood is used/drawn for the regular blood test? How does this play into the accuracy of the tests?
PLEASEE help me!!

Even I would have to agree that after 6 months, you are free and good.
