Hi welcome to HCM
HIV window period is the time gap between infection and appearance of detectable antibodies in the blood
It's usually 10-12 weeks.if the person has got infection, the tests will be positive after this period.
In your case, your exposure was long back and multiple HIV screening tests are negative.
So there is no chance for HIV.
Try to avoid high risk behaviour and sexual promiscuity because best approach in HIV is prevention
All the best
Thank you
