Brief Answer:
No need to get so anxious.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,

Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.

DNA PCR is also conclusive so no need to take so much of tension and you can definitely go ahead with your marriage plans because there is no risk of HIV. You need to get tested after 90 days as per routine guidelines but the result will surely come in your favour so be relaxed and move on in life.

Thank You
