Detailed Answer:
Dear Cabajibabu,
Welcome to Ask A Doctor Service.
You had protected sex with condon then there is no chance of getting HIV or other STIs and the series of test results for HIV are negative amongst which western blot is highly reliable so don't get worried or tensed because you are safe and risk free. No furthe testing is required and the medicine has nothing to do with test result so just calm down, forget the episode and live your life normally.
Thank You
