Brief Answer:
You are 99% free from HIV infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome once again.
Multiple negative HIV tests definitely ascertain that you are free from HIV.
Actually in our country, Oraquick or Orasure self tests are not available . so I am not having personal experience with mine.
Instead of having Oraquick test 15 times, Why not you can go for a 4th generation Combo (DUO) HIV test or a Western blot test?

I cannot go get tested at a public place that s why I have to do the home tests , so hopefully now with 15 neg i can beat the false negative odds
