18 yr ago exposure

Hi -- 18 years ago had possible exposure to HIV thru unprotected sex.   Been married & monogamous15 years -- husband recently  tested negative for HIV thru life insurance policy testing, but I got 2 ambiguous results (was still granted huge life insurance policy).   I have never felt any type of symptom except about 4 yeast infections a year.   We have had five children together, the last in 2000, and somehow neither I nor my children were ever tested.   Anyone out there help me weigh my risks???

Unless you signed a waver in 2000 to not get an HIV test you were given one. If it had been positive you would have been contacted.

Thank you -- two indeterminate test results were causing me some anxiety.

I should mention I live in Oregon -- is the 2000 mandate nation wide, or up to individual states?
