Brief Answer:
Supportive care
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. HIV tests negative for an encounter 16 months old are pretty conclusive and rules out any sort of possibility of HIV, i would say highly unlikely. Now the symptoms of upset stomach could be the side effect of antibiotic doxycyclin you took for weeks or it could be a local gastric discomfort. Dont forget t stress itself triggers irritable bowel. All you need is good balanced diet and lifestyle, reduce dairy products, fatty & spicy foods, alcohol, beverages, soda, tea, coffee and use fiber and fluids more. Use yogurt with peppermint . Small frequent meals will help.
Nutshell, stop worrying about HIV now and try to calm your nerves as that may help your disturbed gastric functions as well. Diet lifestyle adjustments will do the rest of the job.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
