Typical testing regimen for HIV is at 1 month (more than 28 days) and 6 months. If either is positive, you will be offered medications that reduce the viral load in your bloodstream. Since you are at 2 yrs, the result will be conclusive. Keep in mind for future sexual encounters that most bodily fluids can transmit HIV. Protection with a condom can drastically reduce the risk.

If you did the test correctly, at home, and it was negative, you risk of having HIV is negligible. For healthy diet: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/., exercise 30 minutes/day, drink enough water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
