Brief Answer:
You are safe with no risk of HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Jatayu,

Welcome to HCM. I understand your concern and will definitely help you to alleviate your anxiety.

You had an unsafe sexual encounter and almost 3 months post exposure the antibody test for HIV is non-reactive then it is highly reliable as the window period for HIV varies from 15 says to 3 months.

You are definitely safe and the chances of getting affected are very very remote or practically nil so don't get tensed or worried as you are risk free. Be relaxed and move ahead in life. Hope this info will help if still any query left you can get back to me.

Thank You
