Brief Answer:
HIV infection is unlikely...
Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on XXXXXXX
Well looking into your query I can understand your concern for HIV contraction but since you got two repeated tests negative there is a less possibility that you have contracted the disease . The assays used for testing HIV virus are extremely sensitive now a days and it is almost impossible to miss out on infection . They are able to detect infection in the window period even .
Plus since its been 3 months with two tests negative you are in a very safe place .
Hope this helps you .
