Broken condom! possible HIV exposure

Hey guys, I just wanted to explain what happened to me and ask questions if you can help. 62 days ago I had sex with a girl I met in Vegas, I used protection and everything but I noticed after we finished the condom had broken. I got a 103 degree fever 4 days after this incident which im sure is unrelated due to it being so soon. Well about 5 weeks after this exposure I got a rash on my stomach that scared the hell out of me. I then went to get it looked at and was put on some sort of corticosteroid cream (forget the name) on top of this I had a full STD panel which all came back negative and a HIV 4th generation duo test which also came back negative. I felt good about this.

Fast forward another 3-4 weeks and I get two random rashes on my arm which worried me as well. One went away almost immediately (the very next day) while the other has Lingered but faded. I now at day 62 took an oraquick hiv test and it cam out negative. I followed it to the T, and am trying to feel comfortable with the results. Even my doctor who looked at the rashes on arm and stomach said they were not STD related so Im trying to be optimistic about it since I also got a negative oraquick 62 days (9 weeks give or take )

Question is, can I put this behind me? I've been extremely obsessed over it googling symptoms and swearingn I have them, and it's just extremely draining. I want this behind me.

Thanks guys. I guess just cause I went this Monday for an hiv 4th generation test and although the lab results have been in since Tuesday no matter how many messages I've given my doctor to call me with the results he still hasn't called me back. And when speaking to a nurse there she said she can't give me the results until the doctor confirmes them: soo that has me worried.

Your duo hiv test at 5 weeks is conclusive. Irregardless of exposure. You do not have HIV.
