Brief Answer:
I suggest you to do a 4th generation HIV test .

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you writing in healthcare magic.

First I need to know if you have unprotected sexual intercourse with these partners?
Furthermore, if you need to be sure and to be convinced that you are not infected, I suggest you to do a 4th generation HIV test in order to rule out this suspicion.
As well during this time I think it is necessary to consult with a psychologist.

I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
