The HIV tests are conclusive: for sure you are not infected. (The CD4 count is irrelevant: that test is not a test for HIV or AIDS; it should be done only if the HIV test itself is positive.)

Yes, these results are conclusive. There is likely to be a different explanation for your CD 4 count and the symptoms you described. The doctor who did these tests should be able to advise or suggest a specialist to consult with. Wish you good health!
