Negative HIV report

mqm
My HIV test results were : 0.201(non reactive) and cut off rate 1. Am i negative?
I read somewhere that 0.201 is a false negative
The test was carried out after 36 days(5 weeks)
I'm very worried,how do I get my mind of this :(
It was carried out on a 4th generation ELISA
Should I retest after 2 weeks? I did not do PEP,IV drugs,chemo therapy etc and I have a very strong immune system the anti bodies should have been detected(if there were any).What are the chances of low numbers of antigen and antibodies?
The symptoms I suffered were flu(that was 2 days after and it ended in 4 days), headache(one day before the flu and I think it was because of the fat pillow I used),almost liquid stools for 2 hours(due to stress) and today I have a mouth ulcer(it came right after i drank a very hot tea and I read that they can be caused due to stress to)
