can hiv test be accurate even with a low viral load?

ok i have a question...... on may 9th i had PROTECTED SEX with this girl. im not sure if she was negative or positive. but i didn't use a condom for oral sex she gave me oral and i gave her oral........ ok so on september 5th i went for an hiv check up which was one of those oral test the ones you use a swab to stick in your mouth... well anyways it came out to be negative... now my question is that is it possible if you have a LOW VIRAL LOAD of HIV in your system that it cant be detected??? i mean now i have a sore throat now and i thought it was possibly be due to the weather changing and all  but now im not sure. some one please help me out.

You didn't have a risk to begin with and had you had a risk the answer would be no that a low or undetectable viral load will not cause an antibody test not to detect antibodies at 3 months post exposure.
