Willl the result be negative? Anxious

I have had 100% protected vaginal sex with an ex CSW (she quit in November 2008) 8 times since January 1, 2009. I was tested for HIV at the end of March and that was negative.  Since the beginning of Februrary I have experienced runny eyes, nose, ears, nasal congestion and light sweating (generalized) more or less 24 x 7.  I believe that the risk was low, even with the multiple encounters (same person), but these symptoms are frightening me.  I will have another test June 5th which is 6 weeks from last exposure.  Does the fact that these symptoms were present even before my negative test mean anything?  I am very worried about what the test result might be.  Is this irrational?  I would greatly appreciate the opinion of Lizzie Lou and/or Teak.

The fact that I tested negative when I had these histamine-like symptoms (for a month before the last test) shows these symptoms can't be cause by HIV?  Right?

did we just not say that you were not at risk from having protected sex?

Understood.  But is my statement in the previous posting correct?  I appreciate your taking the time to respond.  My anxiety stems from these symptoms.  If they are already ruled out then I would feel less anxious.
