Brief Answer:
No need for any further tests.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

I understand your concerns but don't worry. As all the screening tests that you mentioned are negative, the possibility of contracting HIV infection is almost ruled out. There is no need for any further tests if there were no further exposures in past 20 weeks.

Take care
