You're good: Consider yourself healthy. Nobody's sure how many folks recover on their own and have their tests revert, but you can relax. Although I hope you'll use barrier protection until you're in a stable marriage, I also hope you'll cherish the memory of having shared love, as imperfect as it always is.
