HIV 1&2 Ab/Ag Validity

I keep doing multiple test since my protected sex in 2011 and had similar hiv sign & symptom.

I had test hiv 1 & 2 ab/ag after 6 month after exposure and came out not-detected hiv.

my last test of hiv 1 & 2 Ab/ Ag was in April 2013 and also came out not-detected.

Do my  last hiv 1&2 Ab/Ag blood test valid? Do I need to have more test?

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

The reason is having the test, I still remember I had a small cut from shaving the pubic hair. and I am afraid that I have an exposure since I got the varies pain and symptom since the day after sex.

If you had protected sex then you didnt need testing. So the answer is no!
