Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

There are 30-40% of people HIV free in spite of their regular sex with their HIV positive spouse for years together. It is a well known fact and this status is called as Sreo-Discordant state. There are so many explanations given for the same.
So you need not worry about the possibility of HIV any more and you can be happy as you are free from HIV.
