Brief Answer:
You are free from HIV. Your symptoms are not related to HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Your sex partner was not necessarily a HIV positive individual. Then there is no question of HIV transmission.
A non-reactive HIV test even 9 months after the exposure clearly ruled out HIV beyond any doubt.
So nothing to worry.
Your symptoms are not related to HIV infection.
