Is the negative imperative for tú and vosotros always the same as the present subjunctive? Are there exceptions?

Yes. You have only two specific forms for the imperativ (with the verb ir, for example, ve tú/id vosotros). In other cases you have to use the subjuctive.
-For nosotros: Hablemos! Vayamos al cine! (Let's go to the cinema)
-In polite forms (usted, ustedes): Entren! (Come in) Estudie para el examen! (Study for the exam)
- In negative forms: No vayas! (Don't go)

I really don't understand what do you mean with "negative imperative" because the verb is the same: positive or negative.
The downside of learning Spansih is learning aaaaaall the verbs with different conjugations.
Answer: Maybe in some verbs the impertive (tú/vosotros) is like the present of subjunctive but normally are differents.
-Imperative: "Limpia/limpiad la mesa"
-Present of subjunctive: "Cuando yo limpie la mesa..."
