For the HIV+, How did you get it?

Hello,  I am a 24 y/o homosexual male.  For the last 3 years, i have been 'sexually' active. I have engaged in the following:  receiving oral sex. mutual masterbation. deep kissing.  receiving anilingus.  I have 'topped' a few guys before for short periods of time, and have always worn a condom.  I have let a couple guys TRY to penetrate me, but it hurt too much so i told them to stop. 3 guys that i engaged in mutual masterbation with were HIV+ (no penetraion/attempted penetration there)  The last person i have fooled around with who i know is HIV+ was 6 months ago.  Last week, i had a DNA PCR test done--NEGATIVE.  I have been stressing about HIV so much for the last year that i somehow in the depths of my psyche, have convinced myself that I am positive.  despite the NEGATIVE result.  I am just curious to hear from you people out there who are living with HIV...HOW DID YOU GET IT?   i would appreciate your help in educating me and easing my mind.  Thank you

Dude, quit acting like that. This is an HIV Prevention forum. Quit asking questions that don't pertain to this forum. Why would you not get an antibody test 6 months after? Geesh...
