How conclusive is a 93 day Hiv Chromatographic Immuno Assay Test?

I am male 31 I had sex withe a commercial Sex worker in Dubai. The encounter was protected after one week  I started to have all the stated symptoms except swollen lymph nodes. I had rash on my biceps, fatigue, headache and diarrhea. I had no weight lose in fact my weight increased around 9 kilos within four months of exposure. I tested for HIV at 48,54,56,58 and 93 days all came back negative and the methadology used was Chromatographic Immuno Assay. Is it conclusive. I am still having headache and dry skin even after five months of exposure. Please help me with an answer. I am very worried , Should i go for another test for conclusiveness.?. Before this encounter i rarely fall ill.

After getting all the reassurance from online sources I left the thought of HIV. All online forum says that my tests were conclusive at 92 days. Now I am still scared of HIV as my wife is complaining about the symptoms I had before. She is complaining that she is having Headache,pain in the abdomen, back pain, cough and nasal congestion. She is also having side pain.One week before she had fever and ulcers in mouth and sore throat. Now I am extremely worried to test myself. The test I have done at 92 days was HIV 1 and 2. The methodology was Chromatographic Immuno Assay test. Is this an HIV Duo test. Are my tests conclusive. I am having nasal congestion for more than 3 months. Pls answer

You never had a risk from protected sex and have tested negative.  We're now closing this thread as your symptoms and concerns for either you or your wife and not HIV related.  We wish you the best.

There is no HIV risk from protected sex using a latex condom so you wasted your time testing. The lab shouldn't have taken your money, but more importantly, you are free to get back to your happy life.
Most everyone gets headaches and dry skin is just your self-diagnosed layman's version of your body. Ergo, your symptoms make no point, other than you are living in fear based on the faulty impression that you are dying, so your imagination is naturally getting the better of your reasoning.
