Is there a negative version of :「かぜをひいてください」so it can say please don't catch a cold? Can I make negative requests similar to making positive requests with てください? ありがとうございました。

Yes, Scooter is correct. 「かぜをひいてください」 You're saying "Please catch a cold." If you want somebody to get sick, this is OK.

かぜをひかないように気をつけてください, or the shortened version, かぜひかないように, is the common way of saying "Please don't catch a cold."
