How To Check For HIV?

I had unprotected sex 10 years back with a known girl, whom I am still in touch with. She's married and already has a kid. I haven't had any sexual relationship after that with anybody, now any sharing of needles.Now that I am going to get married myself, I wanted to do the HIV test. I did one in August 2013, and that was negative. Again this year as well, I did one in June, and again November, and both of them were tested negative. So what are the chances of me testing HIV positive? And should I go for the western blot test as well?

Hello
If you would have been HIV infected person due to any episode ( encounter of sex ) so many symptoms may have appeared .
This is a positive indication that you are an HIV free person.
You tested for HIV so many times , then why this time again.
Your history ( medical history ) is also neat and clean ( without any symptoms ) , so at least I don't recommend you any Western blot or any other test for HIV.
Yes, 2nd point is that the girl is also HIV free.
Hope this will be useful for you.
