Accuracy for HIV 1 p24 antigen /HIV -1/2 Antibody Screening?

Hello,
       I recently conducted Accuracy for HIV 1 p24 antigen /HIV -1/2 Antibody Screening post 18th day after the exposure. My exposure was french kissing and handjob. Can you tell me the conclusiveness of the test? Post 24 day after exposure I requested HIV RNA quantitative test which is today. What is the possibility of RNA to predict positive results? RNA testing has high chances of false positive why is that?
My symptoms:
Sore throat after 2 days after exposure which was up and down and now almost gone so far.
Headache and fatigued sometime. Earache, neck pain and lower abdomen pain. Took some antibiotics in between. Please help. Anxiety is too the fullest.

Thanks a lot people for support and comments. My HIV RNA quantitative test came out negative. Test was done on 23rd day after the exposure ( massage, hand job and french kissing). I received result on Monday 30th Nov. I felt so relieved. Now today is 34 days after the exposure. Only test I didnt do is syphillis. Currently I still have dry and itchy throat, neck tenderness, sometimes feeling like vertigo and mild diarrhoea. I started my antibiotics dose on last monday as soon as my HIV results came negative. Now I am worried about syphillis. I will get myself checked after 6 weeks to put all STD and HiV doubts to rest.
