advice please teak and lizzie.

Well This is my story and recent scare. On 11/20/09 i had a high risk exp. with a girl that i had only been seeing for about 1month. Well I used condoms with this girl the few times we had sex, however on 11/19 i purchased a different brand of condoms, on 11/20 the condom broke 2 times. On both times we went from vagina to anal. i am not sure how long the condom was broken but i noticed it both times while i was cleaning myself off. i was very upset as its something i tried very hard to avoid. well since the incident on 11/27 i woke up with night sweats, and mild diarrhea. the on 11/8 i started to get a discomforting feeling on my right side by the abdomen. then on 11/30 the lymph nodes on my neck started to Flare up, the most of the week from 11/30-12/05 i had intermittent night sweats whenever i felt the lymph nodes flare up, i had chills, sweaty palms, mild diarrhea and i felt weak n fatigued and i had sore/achy muscles and joints. On 11/03 and 11/04 i had 2 separate Hiv blood test. Both came back negative obviously as i didn't know of the window period. I then went and got a DNA PCR on 12/07 which i got the results back for on 12/12 and were also negative. Since then i have experienced generalized swollen lymph nodes and what i mean by that is that i feel this small pea sized things under my skin. Pretty much everywhere on my body, my neck armpits, groin and also on my back left leg and my back by the spine and have also exp back pain. Also about 2wks after getting symptoms i noticed that my tongue was white like thrush or a hairy looking tongue and a rash on my back side on both the right and left hand side that resemble pimples n are red and i have been getting itchy skin and for the past 2 wks a dry cough so far its not a really bad cough.

i have been to the docs office several times since all this started and i have been cleared off all stds. Well the girl that i had the exp with on 11/20 went to get tested on 12/10. Results were back negative on 12/16. I went to take another Oraquick test at a clinic on 12/22 which was negative at 33 days past exp. The reason i say i am 95% positive and have even told my parents to prepare for the worst is because i find it to b a big coincidence that 1wk after the condom broke off i started to feel this way. My lymph nodes aren't getting any better either.

My questions are if i am exp. symptoms of ARS would i have seroconverted already since i have been having symptoms since 11/27. Since i took the DNA PCR test at 17 days past exp wouldn't that have shown up Positive since the test is said to b so sensitive.

I have just been so sad and depressed this whole month since the incident. i have cried and i have tried to convince myself that i have it so that when i do get a positive test result i am hoping i am more prepared for it. I am 5% percent sure i dont have it due to negative on the DNA PCR test at 17 days and also Oraquick at 33 days past exp. Also since the Girl also got a negative test back n she claims the last guy she was with be4 me was in late august so she tested at 4 month but i am not sure if i can trust her and that she didn't sleep with someone a few wks be4 getting with me on Oct 21st.

Finally I am going for my 6 wk test on 12/30 well it will be more like 41 days but i guess my main question is again if i have been exp ARS Symptoms since 11/27 wouldn't i have seroconverted by now or do i have to wait till i actually stop getting the ARS symptoms to get detectable antibodies in my system?  i know u guys say not go by by symptoms but all the other illnesses are just as scary as HIV.
Sorry for the long story but i really wanted to document my last 35 days as good as possible. Please comment back. And again merry Christmas!

if someone has ars symptoms...they start at 2-4 WEEKS after infection and last for 1-2 weeks.

pea sized lymph nodes are NORMAL.

there are NO specific symptoms for hiv...and yours sound more like anxiety.

test at 3 months for a conclusive result.
