Someone announced several times for others to hear outside that I have HIV. I took a mouth swab test twice, which showed ‘no HIV’.
Depending on if or how you may have been exposed, HIV can take a long time to show up on tests. Occupational HIV testing after a needle stick for instance generally takes around six months with frequent testing at the beginning that becomes less frequent over the duration. If you really have been, then it may be a good idea to get confirmatory testing done at a late date. Also whoever is going around publicly proclaiming you have HIV is an asshole.
There’s exactly two known cases of possible exposure, both over two years ago. The first was when handcuffs were applied too tightly, and it caused bleeding and got infected; the second was getting poked by a needle when trying to clear out an area to sleep in nature. I took a test around two years ago, then one last week. My personal experience is that wildlife is more civil & rational than industrialized civilization.
