For your information, HIV test are very accurate. The 4th generation can even pick-up 99% of infection as early as 6 weeks post-contact. As we understand, both your parents were positive HIV. You have also done the test when you were 8 and it was negative. It is less likely for your test to be positive in the future because if you have contacted HIV since in the womb, the test you did would already be positive.

However, we did not have your detailed history. So telling the result will surely be negative is very premature. We don’t know whether you have any bodily fluids exchange with a known HIV individuals after the test when you were 8 years old.

What we can advice is, HIV nowadays are not a death sentence. There are many people living as a family with HIV partners. With careful and cautious steps, HIV positive couple can even have a HIV negative baby.
