I am HIV suspected i need help very fastly :(

Hello.
it's been a year im living out of my origin country.
where i live now is Hungary.

I had an unprotected sex on February 11th, 2013 with a girl.

I didnt know about HIV symptoms at all and i hadnt flu for like 5-7 years.
but exactly at the week 4th i started fever but it wasnt so serious and i didnt care about it... the day 2 it got worse and the day 3rd i couldnt even get out of my bed, i had very bad headaches(right behind of my right eye close to my right ear). i couldnt walk for one day because every time i got flu i was exactly like this and even worse!

at the day 4th i was better but started to have sore throat (just a little)
and at the day 7th i was almost okey but my sore throat got almost cured at the day 8th


by the way i talked to that girl she said i am a waitress and i give blood 4 times a year and everytime they check me for HIV and last time they said i am clean was one week ago...( she had test on November,2012)

i don't know maybe she has got HIV but Tests doesnt show.

i met my doctor today(on Monday.day 8th). the doctor didnt speak english very well and he was acting
very cold and it looked its not an important thing. then he wrote me a full checkup+HIV test for tomorrow morning(which is week 5th after unprotected intercourse). and i don't trust this blood test cause i heard on the internet that the best time for it is week 6th and 12th and sometimes 6 month after.
the blood test wouldnt be ready maybe for 1 or 2 weeks.
i am so freak out and i dont trust this doctor at all.
i told him this is week 5th but he said something that i couldnt understand.

that's why i've found here to ask for help.

i can not sleep,eat and concentrate on anything because of this situation.

i have got my results and it was negative, i am happy now but still have got a few doubts.
could the first symptoms be HIV symptoms and now my swollen lymph nodes would be a normal COLD ?
do i need anymore test?
the doctor said it is enough actually and you are okey

i think swollen lymph nodes always hurt. .

Actually no, swollen nodes rarely hurt.

You need to quit overthinking this.

You thought wrong. Swollen lymph nodes with ARS do not hurt.

You aren't having ARS symptoms. ARS symptoms come on 2-4 weeks post exposure and last 1-2 weeks and swollen lymph nodes with ARS don't hurt. You can obtain your conclusive test result 3 months post your LAST unprotected anal or vaginal sex.

Symptoms are not the best way to diagnose HIV. 5 weeks test results are a good indicator and not likely to change. Dont worry.

i had sex on mondy. 4 week later on sunday night i had a little fever ( actually i went out in cold weather after shower and that's my only hope of FLU )

Monday morning ( which was exactly 4th week ) i was kinda okey but in the afternoon my fever got higher than sunday.
Tuesday it was worse and Wednsday was the day i couldnt get out of my bed because of fever and headache ( whenever i had flu i was like this and even worse )

so test on 5th would be for sure? it is not going to be very different from the week 6th and 8th?

"but exactly at the week 4th i started fever but it wasnt so serious and i didnt care about it... the day 2 it got worse and the day 3rd i couldnt even get out of my bed" > Can you please be more clear on this. You mentioned at the 4th week you had fever and later on said day 2 and day 3. Do you mean 2nd day after 4th week?

You had unprotected sex, this requires testing,I know it is difficult to wait, get tested as there is no other option.

5 week blood test ideally should not change, however a conclusive test result would only be at or after 12 weeks.

6 months is what was mentioned in the old CDC guidelines, it is 3 months as of now.
