Means you don't have HIV in that test.  You can obtain a conclusive negative test result 3 months post exposure.

Don't get the cart before the horse. So far you are not positive.

And none of those are HIV specific symptoms. You should be discussing them with your doctor to find out the real cause.

HIV is much more difficult to transmit from female to male than the other way around. You had a single risky incident. With the negative western blot that you received earlier I expect you to test negative again at 3 months.

Despite what your fears are scaring you about, I expect you to come out of this ok.
