HIV test results always tell the truth; symptoms often do not. Your test proves you do not have HIV and that something else is causing your symptoms. You do not need any additional testing -- the HIV tests already done are 100% conclusive. Work with your doctor about your symptoms but please stop worrying about HIV.
