Serious HIV Question

If i have definatly been exposed to the HIV virus and i am experiencing all the symptoms of acute HIV syndrome exactly and according to the timeline most doctors provided....is there any chance i still wont end up having HIV for the rest of my life??

i have never tested positive but i was exposed to the virus about 2 months ago.  i am also infected with herpes and had a open sore at the time of contact.  after 16 hours i was put on PEPs.

my symptoms include.....rash on the foot,shortness of breath,sore throat,sore arm pits, malasie, bad headaches, fatigue, constipation, and diarrhea

after 42 days i was taken off the PEPs (kaletra and combivir) and almost immediatly the sore throat was reduced and the headaches have gotten slightly better. however my arm pits are still sore.

i tested negative at 7 days and 30 days.

my question is, although i was definatly exposed to the HIV virus and i am experiencing all the symptoms of acute HIV syndrome,  is it at all likely that i could still not end up with HIV for the rest of my life??

PEP is never given for 42 days. It's only given for 28 days.
