HIV Infection

Hello!

I am in a relationship with someone who is HIV positive. He and I have been having unprotected sex for more than a year now and he's been recently tested positive. Like 7 mths ago.. It's obvious that Ive been exposed to HIV virus and I've taken the tests twice now and I am negative. Although I'm glad, I don't quite understand how that could be possible? Also how long does it take before you infect someone? He claims to have been faithful to me since we've been together. So if he was carrying the virus all this time..How comes I'm not infected?? Anyone care to educate me? Thanks!

Did you test 3 months after your last unprotected intercourse, and have you abstained from unprotected intercourse since that test?
If so, you are negative and lucky.
