What other tests would you suggest I get done? Also, is there any chance that serology results could come back as a false negative?

Here are my full lab results: erythrocyte 4.55 (3.86-5.08), Hgb 135 (119-157), Hct 0.408 (.350-0.470), MCV 89.7 (83.0-97.0), MCH 29.7 (27.4-33.9), MCHC 331 (32-345), erythrocyte distribution 12.8 (9.0-15.0), platelets 238 (158-424), MPV 10.8 (6.8-10.4), leukocyte 7.9 (3.4-9.7), neutrophils 75.6 (44.0-72.0), # 6.00 (2.06-6.49), lymphocytes 18.1 (20.0-46.0), #1.43 (1.19-3.35), monocytes 5.6 (2.0-12.0), # 0.44 (0.12-0.84), eosinophils 0.4 (0.0-0.7), # 0.03 (0.00-0.43), basophils 0.3 (0.0-1.0), # 0.02 (0.00-0.06). I’m really hoping you can help ease my mind just a little bit. Honestly, I think I might be leaning a bit toward hypochondria—whenever I start digging around online and read about certain symptoms, I swear I start feeling them myself immediately (especially when it comes to AIDS stuff). Like, for instance, joint pain. I’ve also been feeling this tightness in my neck and arms, particularly right after a panic attack hits. I have this feeling that my lymph nodes are swollen, too. I’m 27. Sorry if there are any typos; I’m typing this on my phone!

Hi everyone, I could really use some help here... actually, make that a huge favor. I'm spiraling a little bit right now and honestly have no idea what to do. I went in for blood work yesterday because I’ve been worried about potentially picking up an STI... Here are my results (just the ones that fell outside the normal range): neutrophils 75.6 (44.0-72.0) and lymphocytes 18.1 (20.0-46.0)
My lymph nodes feel a little swollen, too.
I already tested negative for HIV, HBs Ag, and Hepatitis B and C... (Is it even possible for those to be false negatives?)
Is there any chance I've caught something, even though my partner at the time (this was a few years ago) swears he’s completely clear? Please, I really need some guidance—I don't even know who to turn to right now.🤷😕
HELP!!
