Once again, see a doctor if you are concerned.  You could also take another for peace of mind, but nothing more than that.  You are conclusively negative.

HIV is transmitted by:
Unprotected vaginal and/or anal sex
Mother to unborn and/or nursing child
IV drug use

That's it. So if you feel unwell see a Dr, you did not get HIV from smoking and we are not going to keep addressing this issue.

I think you should see a doctor.  You have not had a risk.  Even if you did, you have tested conclusively negative.

No way no how 100%???
also if a person tested to 11 Week's 4 days with a 3rd generation rapid test, negative and 5 previous tests, but now suffering severe abdominal pains in the liver spleen area and also swollen lymh nodes and tingling pain in legs. What should they do? Do they need further testing? What else could it be if not hiv? It's the only tho g that makes sense!
would you advice a viral load test or something ssimilar?
