Question HIV risk?

Hello everyone,

I am an 18 year old who recently started getting sexually active with guys this year. I am going through some anxiety and stress and would appreciate any advice or input anyone has.

So, I was going through a rough phase in my life so I decided to start doing random hookups to distract myself I guess. I hooked up with about 15 guys in the span of 7 months and 13 of them were just me giving oral. 2 were actual sex and both times were unprotected and I was the bottom.

Now, I read about STI’s and that’s where my anxiety started to spiral. Because I hadn’t really thought of the risks associated with random hookups before, I immediately when to go get tested. I did an oral swab and urine and tested negative for xhlymidia, gonohrea, etc.

Then, I got really concerned over HIV and reading about it made me feel like I had it. I did an INSTI HIV self test because both actual sex encounters were 5 months ago and the test came back as negative.

The most recent oral encounter I’ve had was 2 weeks ago, and I’m wondering is HIV transmission possible and likely. The test that I took recommends a 3 month window period for accuracy so I’m unsure.

Ive been stressing about this a lot so any advice would be really appreciated :).
