HIV exposure

Hello gang,
I have been reading and reading through a lot of posts trying to decipher my own HIV exposure.. So here is my story.

I had protected sex with 3 guys in october, guy A was in October 15th, I was just getting done with my period, guy B was October 17th and October 22nd, guy C was October 29th. I had previously had oral with guy C much earlier in October. Soon after I protected sex with guy A, I had sore throat which lasted over a week and a half, then painful lymph nodes in my neck and then a white tongue. I went to my doctor and he gave me antibitocs for the sore throat which cleared up.he confirmed that my nodes were a little swollen but that I should not worry. I worry a lot about being sick. Guy A and I went to go get tested on October 29th, we are both negative, guy b also tested and showed me his results, negative too, guy C has been too busy to be tested as of yet. My doc tells me I don't have thrush, but I am still worried, my throat still hurts and my nodes are swollen from time to time. I  also had loss if appetite for about 2 weeks and lost 6lbs. I am scared outta my mind. I don't need people berating me... Because no one can berate me as much as I have berated myself. I know I have been so stupid....but I need help.

Hello Nick,

Thanks for your response.. It makes me feel better, but I feel I should keep testing until the 3 month mark. My throat still hurts, I have tested negative for strep an mono, I am just soooo scared because I have Neva experienced such painful lymph neck nodes like I had. The base of my throat still hurts too. I just need to be really sure. My stupidty has made me very unstable. Thanks for alleviating my fears, I guess I can sleep well tonite.

You do not need testing, You never had a risk of HIV infection.

So my question now is, does the duo test give false positives? Would a duo test be accurate right now. Symptoms so far are swollen painful lymph nodes in my neck, white tongue and weight loss( don't know if it was from anxiety). I have had no fever or rash anywhere. Please help me... Thanks
