The exposures you describe are not exposures that put you at risk for HIV.  Please understand two very important facts:

1.  The symptoms you describe are very non-specific and could be caused by many, many things other than HIV.
2. The tests for HIV are very, very good and you have been tested for both antibodies and by PCR.  You do not have HIV. there is no doubt about that.  

You need to work with your doctors to understand what is making you feeling poorly but as you do this, you can be sure that it is not HIV.  There is no need for you to worry further about HIV and there is no need for additional HIV testing.  EWH

Your "HIV symptoms" are non-specific can could be caused by any of many other things.  You should discussyour symptoms with your own doctor.  You do not have HIV!!!  EWH

are these symtoms may be due to anxiety also?
Is body jolt is the symtom of hiv?
some time i feel electric shock when i touch my car or some thing.
Can i be 100 person'sure that i m hiv free

if is not hiv then why i feel hiv symtoms after 3 weeks of exposure. Such servere symtoms that i never felt in my life. Is there any std that may cause same symtoms.

I have read may horror stories that some people has never produced antibodies.
