Question about possible Hep C.

I had protected sex 3 month ago.
Recently started to fill inching all around my body ( 2 days ago). ( no rash).

I made HIV test at 3 month which came negative.
And HCV test at 9,5 weeks which came negative. ( 0.01 result).
Hep B/A Negative.

I made my blood test as well
AST 35 (range 10-40)
ALT 16 (range 9-46)
Total Bilirubin 0.6 (range 0.2 - 1.2).

Urine Bilirubin
Negative.

I made an Ultrasound, nothing suspicious was found.

I talked to 2 different doctors:
Both of them telling that analysis are fine and i don't needed any other testing.
And negative Hep C Antibody test at 9,5 weeks indicates that.

I was going to the swimming pool recently and both of them telling me that inching appears because of the visiting swimming pool to much ( 5-6 times per week).

How do you think, should i trust those doctors?
My symptoms are ( itchy skin, random feeling heaviness in liver ( i had it 1 week ago and next day i went to ultrasound, sometimes my stool can be clay color, but i think it mostly depends on what kind of food i`m eating).

Here is some information on what Hepatitis C is and how it's spread and diagnosed from MedHelp.org. If your tests are normal and negative, you don't have it.
