    To negate starts_with I would use the not operator:

    https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/not.html

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { not ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/abc") } {
     # do something ...
  } else {
     # do something else...
 }
}

    For excluding the exact path, you can go with  the "ne" operator

Hi Alex_Pintel , 
Could you please try this : 

when HTTP_REQUEST {
#set http_path [ string tolower [HTTP::path]]
if { [HTTP::path] ne "/abc/Web123/cde/forum123" } {
HTTP::respond 200 content "
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
123456789
</body>
</html>
"
}
}

I tested it on my lab and it works well. 
Regards
