Hi
Thank you for query.I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.

I have gone through the details. HIV antibody test PCR tests have repeatedly come negative implies you are not infected with HIV.
So you can allay fears of HIV.
You can go for biopsy of lymph node, culture of sputum for TB or genexpert test for TB. You can go for blood culture.
As You are fit you can consult a physician (standard hospital or institute) on opd basis for all thorough investigation to get proper diagnosis.

You can get back for any clarification

Repeatedly negative test cannot become positive by repeating again and again. So forget about HIV and concentrate on how to get proper diagnosis.
So consult a proper physician or infectious disease specialist for investigation and diagnosis.
It can be due to tb, ebv, Infection or else. Blood culture, sputum culture or genexpert , lymph node biopsy etc as per physician advice is needed .
