Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
One of the modes by which HIV infection spreads is by sexual contact.
But, since your blood is tested for HIV during blood donation and found to be negative, you need not be worried about it.
You can get tested for HIV by following ways:
1. Tridot HIV screening test.
2. Antibodies detection against HIV 1 and HIV 2.
3. Detection of HIV infection by PCR.
Since it is already more than 6 months you got tested and could to be negative, you can get it tested next after 6 months once again to make sure it is negative.
Hope the information provided is useful.
All the best.
