Hi
Thank you for query.I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
I feel you are too anxious about HIV.
Yes, it is right that x linked agammaglobulinemia have deficiency in production of antibodies.
So, there are chances of HIV test coming negative for antibodies.
These diseases are rare. The manifestation starts in infancy itself with repeated respiratory, skin infections etc. Has any other male members in your family been diagnosed with disease. It mainly affects males and is hereditary.
Do not think of rare diseases which is unlikely unless you/other members have manifestations.
It is unlikely that HIV test is negative due to this disease. Allay fears of HIV.
You can get back for any clarification.

Take physician opinion.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.
The symptoms of eczema, asthma , cough (allergic probably)are related to allergies and are not due to agamaglobulinemia.
Allergic diseases varies with exposure to allergens.
You are trying to fit all symptoms to this disease.
I do not see any possibility of agamaglobulinemia with these symptoms.
You can consult physician for a opinion if you still feel there are chances of agamaglobulinemia.They are the best persons to evaluate.
You can get back for any clarification.
