when can you be sure 100% no HIV infection

Hello Doctors:

I have seen all the great work done on Freedom health and it is great. I come to you from the US.
male 24yrs old, heterosexual only been with 5 woman. I am now engaged.  I am in college and engaged to a RN, BSN currently,

3 years ago before I met my fiance I had unprotected vaginal and oral sex with a female of unknown status. I know she has been with over 20 people. alot more than me. After this happened I developed NGU 2 weeks later with pain after ejaculation. the another week later all the symptoms piled on. Low grade fever (99.6-100.9) conjuctivits in both eyes, white spots al over tonsils, and alot of canker sores more than I use to get it seems. I had a dry cough , and still 3 years later have swollen lymphnodes. under my arms, behind my ears and one on both sides of my neck.

I have been tested extensively mostly by rapid HIV oraquick advance 1/2  18 is the number mostly out to 1.5 years then took another at 2 years past. lymphnodes, sinus pressure, and tonsil stones still present( I hear they are not very accurate though) all neg.

also 10 weeks after all the symptoms I had a undetectable viral load done. like I said tingling in extremities, eye twitching, and tonsil problems , node issues still present.

I put all HIV concerns aways after so many negative tests but then my 23 yr old fiance nurse developed oral thrush on her tongue and sides of cheeks. She has only been with 2 people me one of them and she was tested before. She has not been on antibiotics but she is a long term user of Birth control. I am praying this has caused her issues.

After a negative viral load at 10 weeks and all the neg tests I have had is there any chance at all this could cbe HIV after 3 years ?
THERE HAVE BEEN ZERO RISKS SINCE THIS 3 YEARS AGO.

I spoke to an internist and with the nodes and my fiance getting thrush he thinks I still need to be tested for HIV. ?  is this possible?  
if the illness were HIV wouldent I have tested after sym. went away ?

Hello,
Thank you very much for your posts and welcome to our forum.
After all this time and after so many negative test results, you can conclude with total confidence that you are definitley HIV negative and that your symptoms and your girlfriend's have absolutely nothing to do with HIV.  No doubt about at all whatsoever.  Acute sero-conversion symptoms would last for a few weeks maximum; your symptoms do not correlate.  Please forget HIV as you do not have it.
Best wishes,
Dr José

Also for all the above questions: If these lymphnodes that have been here for 3 years were from HIV wouldent I have 100% for sure tested pos by now?

One doctor has also stated that if they were lymphnodes from HIV they would have eventually went away. He said they woiuld not stay for years that they would  disappear  after a few weeks or months , but I thought with HIV they actually stay there which is another reason I have been stuck on HIV and the possibility that the tests have messed it.

Also Doctor I took another EIA from my university health clinic and get the results on tuesday!!!

After so many tests but still stinging lymph nodes and painful muscles, white tongue and fiances thrush ( hoping it is her birth control if that is even possible)  this is why I tested again. this is almost 2 years and 10 months after this.

Is there any chance of this turning positive? THERE HAVE BEEN ZERO RISKS since then for the last 3 years!!!! besides with my fiance but she was DEFinently neg before me. she was tested and is a RN.
