This thread reminds me of the alleged French attitude to BSE.
We have no BSE
How do you know?
We've never had a case of it.
Do you look for it?
No of course not.
Why not?
We have no BSE

How is it wobbly logic to say "I do not know if I'm HIV+ because I've never had a test" when it's an accurate statement (damn sight more accurate than claiming something is true when it's not been tested).
There is a huge difference between saying "I'm not likely to be infected" and what you've actually claimed which is "I've never been infected in the past 10 years"

exactly & i on the other hand can say that im free from HIV as i have been tested.
