Filariasis medicine doesn't affect HIV test result. HIV test negative means negative.
Don't get anxious about that. Testing repeatedly won't help.
Filariasis is an infection that is treatable by medicine.
Next Steps
consult psychiatrist as soon as possible. You will feel better. Google search and open forum question won't help either.
consult with specialist and get counselled
