If there are squamous epithelial cells in your urine, it may mean your sample was contaminated. This means that the sample contains cells from another part of the body. This can happen if you do not clean your genital area well enough when collecting your urine sample with the clean catch method.

Antibody tests can usually detect hiv 23 to 90 days after exposure. Most rapid tests and self-tests are antibody tests. A rapid antigen/antibody test done with blood from a finger stick can usually detect hiv 18 to 90 days after exposure.

Hiv takes around 11 to 14 days to appear in the blood if infected. The good part is, your 53-day fourth generation hiv test is negative. A fourth generation test can detect both hiv antigen and antibodies if present in the body.

The risk of catching hiv is low compared to many other infections. So your situation is common to still be negative even if without condoms with someone who is hiv positive.
