Welcome to our Forum. I'll be glad to comment. Your tests prove that you were not infected with HIV. Each of the three tests you have is substantially more than 99% (more like 99.99%) accurate at the times you were tested. Each is also a different test which, when considered as a whole, absolutely proves that you were not infected with HIV at the time of your exposure in September. I do not doubt your symptoms or that they continue to trouble you but, based on your test results, you can be completely sure that they are not due to HIV. There are a wide variety of possible causes of symptoms such as yours. My advice would be for you to seek the advice of your own regular physician or, if your do not have one, an internal medicine specialist to seek the origin of your concerns and symptoms. I can assure you however that they are not due to HIV acquired from the exposure you describe.
I hope this comment is helpful to you. Take care. EWH
