There is no "more powerful" HIV test. Negative 4th gen HIV test results more than 6 weeks after exposure always overrules symptoms. For sure you do not have HIV; something else is causing your symptoms. And despite what you think you learned online or elsewhere, symptoms like yours are not typical of HIV anyway. See a doctor if they continue or you remain concerned. Good luck.
