Help! I think I might have hiv

I have a messed up situation. I was with this guy for 3 years and we broke up about 6 months ago, and we'll I heard from a friend that he slept with a heroin addict. Granted we live in a small town and rumors go around but I'm scared of being hiv infected. Asked him about it and of course he denied it. But I went and got test anyways on May 22nd came back Neg so I continued sleeping with him. But then I happened to get a cough and a mild sore throat and runny nose. Well that went away but I got tested about june 20th. Also came back negative. Slept with him again. But just a few days ago I noticed this weird reddish rash on my forearms. Not really noticeable. Might have always had it because I have slightly sensitive skin. But the weird thing is it comes and goes. Like when I wake up it's not there
So I don't know if its just my mind playing tricks on me or it's stress related!? But once again were broken up again and plan of having it stay that way
