Brief Answer:
Put your fears to rest...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I am very sure you can put your fears to rest and enjoy life peacefully. Negative HIV antibody tests after 3rd month is almost conclusive that you wouldn't be infected. I do not advocate any more tests as current HIV testing kits are tested to be accurate as far as ruling out HIV infection is concerned. So those three negative tests are more than convincing that you would not be infected and that you rest your fears and move on.

I hope you will avoid risky exposures in future. Wish you a happy life post engagement.

Good luck!!
