Hi
Sexual promiscuity is one of the major cause of spread of HIV ( and hepatitisB and many sexually transmitted diseases.
Even though condom is considered as protective, it's protection is not absolute.
Any act which may result in the exchange of body fluids ( especially blood and semen ) can cause the spread of above mentioned diseases.
So you should be very careful
Prevention is always better than cure.
Regarding HIV screening, standard protocol recommends if initial HIV testing are negative, one should go for a repeat testing after 3months.if the repeat test also negative , it is considered as HIV is ruled out.

Try to quit the high risk behaviour

Thank you
