7 weeks negative, 12 weeks rapid test faint line

I got 7 weeks negative from rapid test and ELISA result in March.

I test again today for 12 weeks result. But we found faint line shown on rapid test. I need to wait for blood test result next week.

I am now really scared. The nurse saw a very faint line. I cannot see the faint line by my untrained eyes. But I am now extremely scared.

The doctor explain to me that it is not definite result and we need to wait for blood test come out next week. He said the negative result in 7 weeks is a very good indicator since most of the positive can be detected in 4 weeks.

I read many people and experts saying that they never see people turns positive if they are 6 weeks negative. I really scared to be the first one.

Sorry for being so annoying. I really cannot stop thinking about this.

I remember the intercourse was protected. But when I kiss and bit her breast, I don't know if it was my imagation, I felt something spill into my mouth. In case there was lactate or blood spill into my mouth. Will I be in high risk?

The other reason for the high stress is the symptoms during 3-4 weeks after exposure. I had low grade fever (99-100F), very bad sore throat, one enlarge lymph node on neck, stomach upset, nausea, vomit and serve nightsweating

Of course the faint line in rapid test is also strong sign. I really feel I am infected.

I have negative rapid test and ELISA after 7 weeks exposure. But it still cannot settle myself.

I am so worried now. Blood test result will come in next few days. Really high stress that I cannot breathe.

I had unprotected oral for two seconds and protected vaginal intercourse with prostitute.

When she put lotion in her vaginal by her hand before sex, I am sure she left vaginal fluid on her hand. Few minutes after protected sex, she gave my hand job. I think her fluid on her hand contact with my penis when she gave hand job for me.

Or the condom was broken that I didn't know.

Sorry for asking again. It is really stressful. I am so worried now.
