Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is a good news that you have negative results of these tests. I have read carefully your history and I think you should do according the recommendations a 4 generation HIV test after 3 months as a conclusive test.Furthermore,based on your recent results(negative) the possibility that the test after 3 months to be positive is low. So, you shouldn't worry because the possibility to be positive is low.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
