8 tests?: Modern HIV tests are highly sensitive. If negative 90 days after exposure, the chance of being truly negative is 99.9%. If this result is obtained 8 times, even more so. Please proceed as a responsible adult who practices safe and responsible sex and who is healthy and negative for HIV...one who shouldn't do more tests. You've done enough! Stay well!
