A negative 4th gen combo test a 44 days after potential exposure is 99% accurate. Visit this site for info: HIV test window periods https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/hiv-testing/test-types.html

The focus should be now on determining what may be causing your symptoms of severe muscle and joint pain other than HIV that seems to have been ruled out convincingly. Other viruses remain possible aside from rheumatologic disorders.
