The 4th generation tests always turn positive within 6 weeks. Any and all tests after that time were unnecessary and a waste of money, time and energy, but they proved you do not have HIV. You've had 27 tests in 10 months?? Really??? that may be a world record. If so, it suggests a rather serious psychological issue. Discuss with your physician, who may recommend mental health care. Good luck!
