Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Negative HIV test after 3 months is almost conclusive that you are free from HIV.
Acne over back and hives are common for many people in the absence of HIV. They are not common symptoms for HIV.
Moreover you were having protected sex.
So there is no need for another test.
Flu like symptoms can occur for anybody.
Nothing to worry.
