normal testing !!

I had a busy sex life for past one year (2012-2013) with my girls who partly are CSW. For all that one year we performed protected vaginal/anal sex.

As many doctors and pioneers advice that any person busy in sex life (protected or unprocted) should be testing every time and then.

After my last sex here is the tests done:
6 weeks Rapid test finger prick (Alere Determine HIV 1/2 and unigold)  (results Negative).
8 weeks Rapid test finger prick (Alere Determine HIV 1/2)  (results Negative).
12 weeks Rapid test finger prick (Alere Determine HIV 1/2)  (results Negative).
13 weeks Rapid test (Bio-Line and ELISA) (results Negative).
20 weeks Rapid test finger prick (Alere Determine HIV 1/2)  (results Negative).

Please advice !
