Hi,
HIV can spread through anal sex also. But as you have taken PEP and after six week molecular testing negative. So HIV now unlikely Usually molecular testing is positive if HIV infection there (at six week of exposure). So if you both are HIV free than sex can be done monogamous relation and use of barrier method protective against HIV.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
