I've been getting really anxious about my HIV status and could really use some advice. Nine months ago, I had unprotected sex, and since then, I've been super vigilant about getting tested. I've taken the HIV 12 test every three months up to now, and each time it's come back NonReactive. Should I be worried or does this mean I'm in the clear?
