if you had a negative HIV test 3 months after your last sexual exposure, then you do not have HIV, and you should stop worrying about HIV at all

Hiv does not remain inactive for years, most people test positive within 3 months. If you've tested negative and are worried about an exposure from years ago, don't.... you have nothing to fear.
