Hi, thanks for writing in with your concerns. It is great that you are already having regular testing and have been to your doctor to check out the source of your symptoms.
Oral sex is considered a very low risk for HIV transmission  and using a condom during sex prevents HIV transmission so your negative HIV test result reflects this.   Sometimes anxiety and worry can affect how our bodies work and how we think about things.  There can definitely be other reasons for the symptoms you are experiencing and  it would be recommended that you stay in contact with your doctor to discuss your concerns.
