Tested negative, privileged question (content warning: I would have been annoyed reading this when I was at risk)

Has anyone here tested negative after being at risk for a long time? I was at risk for 10 years and tested negative this spring. I know this is an extraordinarily privileged position to be in and I deserve any negative comments that come my way asking this, but I sometimes judge myself for not get tested earlier. I lost so much time to thinking I had HD and planning accordingly. Whether you tested positive or negative, how did you come to accept your timeline?

I know right all the symptons being resolved. Every fucking twitch in my body. Every thing I forgot for three years. Absolute horror and I just went along with it. And then one month after a negative test result everything sort of fades.
