Hello HIV 1 shows molecular heterogeneity. From The four groups ,M, N,O, P, group M is responsible for most of the infections in the world. Without going much in details, which is beyond the scope of public chat, too complex to understand by lay public, I will just focus on your question. The most lab use commercial kits that contain antigen from both HIV 1 and 2. These kits use both natural and recombinant antigens and are continuously updated to increase their sensitivity to newly diagnosed species ,such as group O viruses. If your test results were negative with all the tests you have listed, you are negative. Was this your main worry? To ask this question? For more confidential info you can chat or speak in private with any one you wish.
