If a person had sex with multiple people and none of them were infected with HIV,

You can only get HIV from someone or something already infected. This includes humans, needles, breast milk, etc. HIV virus must come in contact with a damaged or open tissue.

CDC.gov

You can get or transmit HIV only through specific activities. Most
commonly, people get or transmit HIV through sexual behaviors and
needle or syringe use.

You must have the infection to transmit it. Multiple partners increase risk, but only transmit if one partner already has infection.

AIDS institute

They believe that the chimpanzee version of the immunodeficiency virus
(called simian immunodeficiency virus or SIV) most likely was
transmitted to humans and mutated into HIV when humans hunted these
chimpanzees for meat and came into contact with their infected blood.
