testing required after 19 years

There are very few people who don't show any symptoms after 12 years of the infection, and are called long term non-progressors. It is possible, but very unlikely that you are one of them. The only way to know your status is by testing. Take a rapid HIV test for reassurance, if it's negative, forget about it and move on with your life.
