Please advise

8 months ago I had unprotected vaginal intercourse with a csw,I started having symptoms of muscle aches,headaches,fatigue,rash on hand ,sore throat,pain behind knees,elbows,armpits 4 weeks after the incident.I still have those symptoms on and off.Also I keep getting red erythema like spots on the tongue which go nes away after 3-4 days.I tested neg. for hiv,syphlis,hepatitis,chlamydia,gonorhea 2 months after exposure,hiv tested was repeated at 4 months after exposure was neg. Now my girlfriend  started having same symptoms,we started having unprotected sex after my 3 mont neg. hiv test.Her symptoms started after 2 months we started having unprotected sex.
Do I need any other  test to rule out any other STD  or different HIV strain at this point?Please give me your input.

As you have been told MANY times it is not HIV, All other STD questions should be asked in the STD forum, I will add this, Your symptoms do not sound like an STD

I started having joint pain and ezcyma,oral ulcers and stuffy nose at night and my mouth gets very dry.I never have any of these problems before that incident.
Is ir possible that virus is not picked up by the testings or it may be something else.Is it related to STD?

She is having svere muscle aches,headache and some sort of redness on legs and on knees.I had the same symptoms 4 weeks after the CSW incidence.I am scared of 3rd starin of HIV.

You don't have HIV but what about the sexual history of your girlfriend, was she tested before you started having unprotected sex with her?
