Relative low risk ,how accurate is this test

Hi dr and everyone else helping the people with doubts like me well 10 weeks ago i had unprtected oral with a woman with unknown status(gave and recieved)(im a guy) ,"dipping" for like 15 secd that without condom ...well all my doubts began with a minor sore throat 5 days after the risk 2 weeks after risk i notice a cm lymph node in my neck and a week later i had an oral aphtae that went away in 5 days.at the end of week n4 after risk i got 2 more nodes about a cm and in the 7-8th week 2 more nodes .5 cm . Im at the 10th week after risk and the lymph nodes have decreased their size in a few mm plus i had a combo hiv test 4th g in the 6 week and 1 day after the risk,is this test reassuring?? Do i need to test again??? Am i likely to change of status?? If the sore throat aphtae and the initial nodes i had were hiv related wouldnt the test  had show it at the 6 week test?? Im sorry about my english and thank you very much for the help

What do you want? You know when you test, you decided to "dip" so it is a risk. Oh and symptoms don't happen at 8 weeks.
