Results Valid?

Hi, I had a physical a few weeks back and a follow up because i have high blood pressure. In the follow up my doctor noted my test results and noted my HIV test came back negative. I had a unprotected vaginal exposure over a year earlier. I never recall him telling me he was going to test for this or ever recall him mentioning anything about it. Does this sound weird to anyone? Could i have possibly misheard him even though i don't know how i could have misheard HIV? I'm starting to worry again

consent or no consent...your test was negative and you dont have hiv.

if you are having issues with this...take it up with your dr.
