Your 12 week negative test was fully conclusive and proves you did not get HIV from your exposure.  You didn't need any further testing, and do not need to test again now.  

The values on the test are irrelevant, they will always fluctuate.  As long as they remain below the cut off for a positive test (usually 1.0), it is a negative result.  

Symptoms are a terribly poor indicator to gauge HIV infection because they are very inconsistent.  Some newly infected people never have ONE symptom, and MOST people who experience what they perceive to be classic HIV symptoms often go on to test negative.  99% of people seeking HIV tests based on symptoms have tested negative.  Not to mention, the onset of your "symptoms" would be WAY too late to be consistent with ARS.

You do not have an HIV concern.  Don't give this another thought.
