12 months test

Hi folks. In november 2010 I had my only risk behaviour in my life. I have protected vaginal intercourse and unprotected oral sex bothway with CSW. I had huge amount of HIV tests  since then. 31 of those test were HIV COMBO antigen+antibodies and 5 were INSTI tests. I have tried to cover every window period. My 3 months , 6 months and 9 months COMBO tests were negative. 11,5 moths INSTI was negative too.  Now I am thinking about my final test, exactly one year post my exposure. I have appointment in local healthcare clinic next monday and I will take my last test. Could I be very sure that my test will be negative?  I had no exposures since november 2010. Sorry for my bad english, hope you´ll understand. Thank you

This will come as a surprise to nobody-you have wasted a year of your life worrying about something you was not at risk of in the first place.

So you think I am completely safe in respect of HIV? I trust my results in medical way but my mental health is very poor. I convinced my self that my final test will be exactly 1 year post my exposure ( you think non exposure). I am sure that if my final test comes out negative I will be ready to go on with my life. BUt I am scared of imagination it comes out positive. My history of tests since 8th of november is excessive but still I need this one last test.
