No. You can't diagnose HIV by symptoms. You can obtain your conclusive test result 3 months post exposure.

I had these symptoms after the incident, and these are swollen lymph nodes due to hiv, how can you say no. and the weight loss, candidas, weak,
these are due to the infection, and especially felt in my elbow lymph node

HIV is not the only reason lymph nodes swell how would you know if they are swollen or not? It's not easy to diagnose swollen lymph nodes even for people in the medical field. Again HIV is not diagnosed by symptoms.

I am not wasting time, all these symptoms are online, and sure i am infected i had everyone of them, chills, weight loss, excessive sweating, swollen lymph nodes, some fatigue, malaise, no fever, no vomit, these all go towards hiv infection after high risk exposure, am i right, or you dont want to make me feel bad, now i feel a cough at this moment and runny nose due to hiv infection.

Engough, get your three month post exposure test and don't post anymore until you receive your test results.
