    Since the tests came back negative (if I'm understanding you right), would it make any difference that it's on your records? You were 10/11, and in the years since I'm guessing you've been fine. Are you sure it'll be an issue?

      Have you asked your GP if they can simply delete it from your records, given that it's irrelevant? If that can't be done, how about asking the GP if they can write on your records that all the tests came back negative and that this has no relevance whatsoever to your state of health.
