The reliability of RT PCR is 60-70% itself. Rest 30-40% may have false positive or false negative even.
Get his antibody test done to know. Even you can repeat RT PCR, both of you.
Their is a chance that if he is asymptomatic than there is no aerosol produced due to which you might not be infected.
