The symptoms of HIV are not caused by the virus itself, but by the immune response to it. The immune response produces antibody. Therefore, it is NEVER possible to have HIV symptoms if an antibody test is negative. You do not have HIV; but even if you did, it is not the cause of any symptoms you have now or will ever have in the future. No exceptions. Move on; no more question about it please.
