Hello,
The HIV tests you had are all negative, this means they do not identify an HIV infection in you.
On the other hand, 5% of patients may test negative if the test is done within 6 weeks of exposure and a repeat test in 3 months is recommended just to be completely sure.
I hope I have answered your query and have been helpful to you.
I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
