Thank you for your replay,
My concern is the sy mptoms are in exact time and I couldn't find another cause for the rashes and white patch on the tongue.
And the symptoms of hep c also makes me worry as I think only after I read the acute hcv can delay the making of HIV antibodies, ..

You didn't have any risk of HIV so stop thinking about that. You can talk to your doctor to overcome your symptoms.

HIV is never diagnosed through symptoms, but even if it were, you don't have it, so it canno be HIV.

You had no risk of HIV and are so safe that you didn't need to test. It is abnormal to test repeatedly for the same disease so you need to move on from HIV phobia. Perhaps your doctor can refer you to a therapist to help.

HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only adult risks are unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal sex or sharing needles that you inject with but you didn't do that so you had no risk. This sentence is all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so nothing you can add will make your situation a risk.
No one got HIV from touching or oral activities in 40 years of HIV history, so likely no one will in the next 40 years of your life either.
