SOMEONE HELP BEFORE I GO CRAZY

Hi,

I had unprotected sex 6-7 times with the same girl in Thailand and I think I am a high risk here. I asked her if she was negative and she told me 2 days ago when i finally reached her that she tested her self after I went home and she said that she was negative.
I got tested for all STD and all showed negative. I also took the rapid DUO test which looks for Ag/Ab after about 24 days. It came out negative.I got the result after 20-30 minutes- Some says that, if I got HIV then it would show and the antigen test, and if your levels for antigen was low then you antibodys will shiow that you infected. I know that test is not conclusive but is it a good indicator? 4 weeks after last exposure I have swollen lympnodes under my jaw, and my neck hurts a little bit. I got diearrea for like 2 days in a row and then it stopped. Now am starting to get a few pimples on my face and my wisdom tooth is starting to playing games with me. Are this HIV symptoms?

I will get tested again in 6 weeks but I really wonder if my test at 24 days was a good indicator?! I just need a good answer and I wont bother you again!

Also, right know I am getting pain in my lower back when I stretch a bit. I still know that you still cant diagnose anything, but what can that lump be in you neck without having any clue of an infection? No fever, Nothing but swollen lymph node or something on the both sides actually, The right one is bigger, and its bigger than a M&M.

No one has done it yet, I did with my mother and fathers help. It is a big lump there right know, I wonder if it can be something else then a swollen lymph node. Do you have anything to come with?

3 months is 3 motns of course, and negative after 24 is a good indicator. But really, I dont know why my lymph nodes ar swollen right now. I dont have a cold, or sore throat, I dont have anything, Just a swollen lymph node exactly under my adams apple and a bit to the left of it. It doesnt seem very good to be honest. Anyone who can clarify a bit?
I can tell you that I got an eyebrown piercing too and I removed it yesterday cause i think it might be infected, can that cause swollen lymph node? I dont know its there, Someone please help.

your rapid duo test negative result  at 24 days was a good indicator.

3 months post exposure is when you can obtain a conclusive negative test result.
