Your test results prove you don't HIV. HIV-2 is too rare in the US to worry about, but if you want to find a provider to do an HIV-2 test, it's fine with me. But whatever is causing your symptoms isn't HIV--anyway, I have never heard of recurrent mouth ulcers being the only symptom of HIV infection.
