Didn't you say you had diarrhea for a long time on one of your posts? If so you should get a stool culture and also a stool specimen done for parasites.

Yes you can trust your HIV and Hepatitis results. Was the HIV test what they call a duo test where they check for the p24 antigen and also antibodies to HIV? If so then yes it is very reliable. The time frame is good for the Hepatitis tests. I still think it would be good to check the FTA to be sure. Did you ask the doctor about infectious arthritis? That is different than reactive arthritis. So you could still have that. If not I"m not sure what is going on. One step at a time.
