new Anxiety symptom(burning skin) and HIV worry

NEGATIVE for both HIV RNA and Antibody on the 26th day from my scare, These tests are they capable enough to pick up the virus IF I WAS INFECTED??  How reliable are they!!

Biorad 3rd gen Igm and IgG: Antibody test

GenProbe APTIMA HIV-1 qualitative assay. Sensitivity of the assay is 30 copies/mL (98.5%) and 100 copies/mL (100%). :RNA TEST


" HIV RNA is the first to appear in the blood and can be detected by nucleic acid amplification tests as early as one week post infection, depending upon the patient's viral load and the sensitivity of the HIV RNA assay used for detection. The advent of third generation ELISA assays, which detect IgM as well as IgG, have shortened the window for detection by EIA by several days, to under three weeks from time of infection. " --- North Carolina State Laboratory of Public Health
Accoding to them these tests are the best in the business,

While this forum could help you with your general anxiety, we are NOT an HIV forum and therefore we are not familiar enough with the symptoms or the newest generation of tests. I strongly suggest you post your concerns either on the HIV Prevention Forum or the HIV Anxiety Group at this link.
