Symptoms coincidence with Anxiety?

After 8 weeks of my probable risk situation ( though I have been told by experts here that it is 0 risk), I took a hiv antibody test { Triline method (rapid test done in 20-30 mins) in India . The lab technician told that the test is very effective and would detect the infection within 20-30 days} and it turned NEGATIVE.

But I felt some presence of symptoms like loss of appetite and weight( more than 10 pounds in 4 weeks) uneasiness, lump in throat, slight increase in body temperatures, a blotch in my gum after 2 weeks which subsided in 1 week and 2 or 3 chicken pox like bumps in my hand in 4th or 5th week.

My tests for STDs like syphilis, gonorhoea, chlyamidia  turned negative in 1 week.
My test for HIV turned negative in 2 weeks( not sure about the test/ method name but it was done in USA)

I took HIV test in India after 6 weeks and 8 weeks and they both were negative. My risk situation was unprotected oral sex( extreme deep kissing ) and protected sex with condoms with a transsexual escort. The question that lingers in my mind now is why did I have those symptoms ?
2) Is it all due to anxiety?
3) Can I take my 6 week and 8 week test results ( negative at both times) as conclusive and move on?

First, the word "or" is not true in your case. You are not sick, period. Your exposure does not put you under any risk of HIV transmission. Your tests will always be negative because you had no exposure. In fact, you do not need any test for this incident.
