How high is my risk?

I had possible exposure(vaginal without ejaculation) on December 15th, with an ex boyfriend who in the past months has had multiple partners (only females) unprotected. He is not an injected drug user (well at least that is what he claims) and he has not been tested for HIV, therefore his status is unknown. A couple weeks later I went to get checked for STIs because I was feeling very strange.. I was diagnosed with Chlamydia and I am sure this occurred from this encounter since he has been my only partner my whole life. At 5 weeks after exposure I got an antibody blood test and it was negative and at 60 days after "exposure" an oral swab which was negative as well. I have also had a sore throat and headache that does not go away for the past 1 month 1/2 which makes me doubt my status plus the fact that I did get chlamydia from this event really makes me feel very insecure about this situation. He also refuses to get tested for HIV. I am very scared. What are my chances that I am okay? Should I still get retested at 12 weeks? and could my negative results change by then? Please help

Im 20 years old (female)
Had only have a single partner

it is highly unlikely that your test at 60 days will change.  just follow up at 3 months to get that conclusive result.

3 months-12 weeks-90 days. No reason to have a 74 day test when if you wait another 2 weeks you will have a conclusive test.

I am extremely anxious about this I am going to get tested today at 74 days after exposure due to my symptoms. If these turn out negative, should I put this in my past? Or do I still retest at 84 days?

Thanks for the help, I very much appreciate all feedback
