Need reassurance

3 years ago I had unprotected sex with 2 different individuals, and just put it out of my mind until recently when I finally went and had a ora quick test the one that u swab your mouth with. It was negative by gods grace....
1.Do those tests give false negatives?

After those exposures I never had unprotected sex again! I have been browsing the forum for answers and have read many important things. I see quite a few people are concerned with Deep Kissing. Seems to be a major topic along with just blood contact in general,and the possiblity of transmission through bleeding in the mouth and well I have kissed many people with my mouth bleeding(bit lip,chapped bleeding lips, canker sores, etc)somewhat and theres were to I assume at the same time given the place I live crazy weather would there have to be a certain amount of blood.Possible? Never really thought about it that way only through unprotected sex,and I dont do that mistake any longer but now im starting to get worried again if this is a route could u explain to me how so?
Now I will probably go and have another test anyways in a few weeks just to make sure again. Now that I finally did it almost feel like I need to keep doing it.

2.How rare are false positives?

I am so so freaked out about this test tommorrow 8 weeks and 1 day im afraid its not gonna be what im hoping for...I know 8 weeks isnt 3 months but its a good sign....Whats the chances that my small lip cut was still bleeding when the deep kiss took place at least 10 minutes later, it wasnt bleeding alot in the first place but i cant get it outta my mind and i hope that there wasnt bleeding in the other ladies mouth and i just didnt notice it...sorry for so many questions i am alone at the moment and really freaking myself out with everything.I know all about saliva not having hiv im just hoping that it killed it in the blood in the ladies mouth before it reached mine.

Well the last time I was involved in a deep french kiss was only 35 days before when i took the test and i know that i had a lip that bled just a little before the kiss and im not sure if it still was bleeding very well could have been and im thinking maybe they were bleeding too would this make a difference or would the saliva kill the virus in the blood too if the other person was bleeding? So i guess im pretty much asking cuz i have read other posts about it and they all say  theres nothing in saliva that could make this possible but im worried about saliva and blood togather. Im not worried about the exposure 3 years ago i know thats ok now. I  should of left well enough alone but no i had to browse this forum and now im worried about that deep kiss...

This was 3 years ago and you are worrying about it now? If you haven't had anything wrong with you in 3 years and your tests all came back negative, I'd get over it and move on. You're fine.
