Am i infected ?

Hello. I had sex with a unknown lady about a year back now. I was scared that i was infected with HIV and so i took a blood test after about 7 or 8 months of the intercourse which turned out to be Negative. And now after a year i am having a doubt again because i am suffering with Flu, body pain and headache. Although i dont see any loss of appetite or swollen lymph nodes. I want to confirm if am 100% safe? or should i take another test ?? please help me.
