Very worried!!!

Hey guys so ill keep it short

My wife cheated on me 5 months ago, had unprotected sex with someone else, and then had sex with me 3 months ago

She tested negative rapid 7 weeks and 14 weeks post exposure and have been healthy ever since

Meanwhile Ive been experiencing symptoms(fever, tender lymph nodes, whit stripes on the side of tongue that look a lot like leukoplakia, whitr tongue as well, and 3 weeks of coughs) although tests at 7 and 10 weeks came out as negative

Could I be a fast progressor and continually test negative?
Thank you
Im really worried please help!!!

All HIV tests currently on the market are conclusive at 3 months past exposure. A 4th generation duo test is considered by many experts to be conclusive at 28 days after exposure. Since you didn't say what type of test you got or if you don't know then the 3 month post exposure guidelines should be followed.
