Welcome to HCM.
The result of 3rd generation HIV antibody test is negative after 17 months of high risk exposure then it is definitely conclusive and no any further test is required to confirm again as you are absolutely free from HIV so don't worry.
Your IgE test result is clearly indicating that you are suffering from severe allergy for which continue the same treatment you are already taking as per the advice of your physician. No need to worry as cortico-steroid treatment has no concern with the sero-conversion of HIV. Be relaxed and move ahead in life.
Thank You

In the internet it shows that Corticosteroid delay production of antibody. Though I was using Seroflow rotacap 200 and 400 want to confirm that can it delay antibody production?
Also I tested after 1 year 9 months of exposure. Can any kind of immuno-defficiency delay sero conversion upto this long?
I have high IgE. Is it means my antibody production working well?

Brief Answer:
17 months after possible exposure is very long time for antibody to develop
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
You had tested after one year and 9 months of the exposure which is very long time for antibodies to develop. If the 3rd generation test is negative than it is clear that antibodies are not present and you are absolutely free from HIV. Also steroid therapy has nothing to do with sero-conversion. So don't get tensed, be relaxed and enjoy your life happily.
