HIV anxiety (just need clarification)

Hello everyone,

So i had lived in HIV fear beginning of 2018. Where i had 4 risky exposures unprotected. So last one was in November 2017. I have done about 4 or 5 4th generation tests.

All came back non reactive. I’m still worried because of how very risky was my 4 exposures with ppl I don’t know.

Since then, i have had some protected sex and condoms didn’t break or slip. My questions are:

Should i let it go?
Do i need to test for HIV if condom didn’t break or slip?

So, you've had several tests.  The first one was accurate and you didn't need any after.  Having unprotected sex a single time is very low risk, VERY.  Less than 2% transmission for a single unprotected intercourse.  Think about that, 98% of the time it will be negative.  You're negative.  Mental health can be hard to get a handle on with out professional intervention and maybe that would benefit you.  You do not have HIV and hopefully will accept that.

Thank you for your time. So you’re saying no matter how risky was my exposures? Because all 4 i had were unprotected anal!
Also, i learned the lesson after that and had few sex but i used condoms. Do i need to test for that?
You said all that before, so there is nothing left to talk about. You are just asking the same questions over and over that have been answered. Consider therapy because 3 years is a long time to waste your life worrying about hiv that can't happen.
Clearly stated no testing needed anymore.

Let it go.  You seem to have an anxiety problem at this point, as you already tested negative, and kept getting tested anyway.
