Probably free of all: All available tests are highly accurate if done sufficiently long after the last possible exposure. That time varies from 4 weeks to 4 months, depending on the particular STD and test done. For sure you are free of any infections tested after those times. HIV never causes neuropathy as the only symptom; neither do any other STDs. See your doctor if you remain concerned.
