Brief Answer:
You are free from HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
You had protected sex with CSW and ECLIA test at 26 & 42 days, HIV 1/2 antibody test on 60 day and HIV combo test on 90 days all are negative then no need to worry at all because you are free from HIV.
The test result after 90 days is 100% conclusive as the window period for HIV also varies from 15 days to 3 months. Any value below one is considered as negative so it has not of much significance.
It is not possible the result will change in future so don't worry and forget about the incidence as you are absolutely safe. For any further query you can get back to me any time and I am here to help you.
Thank You
You are free from HIV.
