Anesthesiologist,  's  Response
there are 2 methods used for HIV testing
ELISA ( enzyme linked immuno sorbent assey)
and WESTERN BLOT test
and there are hiv titers
they are all good in terms of sensitivity of testing

since you are negative after 3 months there is nothing to worry
what you might have encountered is a urinary tract infection, which must be normal now

if you are still in doubt get a baseline titre of HIV done and use that as a reference whenever you need an hiv in future
it’s the most reliable test

feel free to ask any question
