Waiting for results = more anxiety

Waiting for results = more anxiety

So when I went to the clinic I got tested using the Orasure HIV-1 antibody test. I'm waiting for results which should be in on Friday May 4th. The counselor that gave me the test insisted that I wait intil 12 weeks (I was at 9 weeks 2 days.)I begged her to give me the test and she did but she told me that it wouldn't be accurate and that a negative today meant nothing intil it was confirmed by a negative at 12 weeks.  But, I begged her and she let me take the test. Yesterday I was fine , but today I have more stress about it. I'm so worried about a positive result and if it is negative then I'll have to worry about it for another 3 weeks becuase now I feel like a 9 week negative is no good. I know I'm over reacting, but I have 3 swollen lymph nodes in my neck and my throat has been sore for awhile. That's whats stressing me. But I'm so thankful I have you guys on medhelp.org. You've really helped me and at least I know that in 3 weeks this will all be over. I hope God gives me this chance to better my life. Deep inside I know I can't possibly be positive, but I can't get over the "What If" Tell me guys can I relax if these test results are negative.

If your test is negative then your fine, I have read over and over and over on this site and the doctor here says that 6 weeks is conclusive and that means that 9 weeks is real conclusive.  I am waiting until may 15 for that to be my 6 weeks so i can get tested.
