Brief Answer:
You are free from HIV infection beyond any doubt.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Window period for HIV infection is around 6-8 weeks, may be delayed up to 12 weeks in certain individuals.
You had your HIV tests repeatedly negative for HIV. A nonreactive test after 6-8 weeks confirms that you are free from HIV infection. 3 nonreactive tests after 6 weeks are 100% sure that you are free from HIV infection.
Relax. You need no further testing for HIV.
