Hi
Welcome to HCM
Read your prob, before one yr you are at risk of HIV n now test is negative, you should get another test after one yr as its incubation period vary from 3 month to yrs.
if now it is negative then there is least chance of gettin HIV but prophylactically you should get another one.
I find this answer helpful
