Brief Answer:
You are free from HIV 1 and 2 infection. Need no further testing.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
You had protected vaginal and oral intercourse. So you are very safe.
Breast secretion is least infectious. Only 25-30% of Children feed on breast milk continuously for six months or more (not for a very short period) are only have the transmission of HIV through breast milk. Nearly 70% of them escaped from HIV in spite of breast feeding by an infected mother. Exposure to breast secretion once or twice, carries almost nil risk.
As your HIV tests are repeatedly nonreactive even after 3 months of high risk activity ensures that you are free from HIV. There is no possibility for you to have HIV, with a negative HIV 1&2 antibody and P24 antigen Combo test negative after 8 months. It confirmed that you are free from HIV 1 and 2 beyond any doubt.
Cold, rashes and mouth ulcer are such common symptoms and can occur to anybody without HIV.
So just forget about that incident. You are not at all having HIV Infection.

Hi,
Welcome back.
As per CDC XXXXXXX United states, unprotected Anal sex and vaginal sex are considered to be high risk and unprotected oral sex has low risk. All other types of sexual activities like kissing, masturbation, licking or sucking the breast etc. are having negligible risk for HIV. (http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/risk/estimates/riskbehaviors.html)
CDC is an authorized source in USA Public health department and worldwide we are following their guidelines mostly.
Moreover majority of the sex workers are not HIV positive individuals and most of them realize their risk in their profession and take adequate precautions to remain uninfected.
Your HIV tests are able to detect the rare serotypes of HIV also. So your test reports were final and conclusive. You are free from HIV. Forget about that incident and relax.
