Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have already gone for hiv dna pcr twice. It is very specific and reliable test. Both time you have negative result. So now no any further testing is required.
No need to worry. Just be relaxed. You are safe.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
