is it anxiety or hiv?

on march 22 i had an encounter with a female sex worker at her home. she performed protected oral and about 2 minutes of protected vaginal. she asked me if i had a condom which i didnt so she got one for me. after i noticed there was a little blood on the condom. her period had started. she wasnt very panicked at all. i asked her are you sure your clean, she swore to me and said yes, i wouldnt do that. 9 days later i got sick, no temp yet but a little sore throat. for some reason i thought about hiv so i looked up the symptoms on the internet. bad choice. i had diarrea foe about 10 days not that much though. it started with me being constpated, so i took a laxative, then i couldnt stop going so then i took imodium ad, and it stopped, after i was constipated again i think, then i got a fever of 101. i drank some prune juice which made me go again and my fever went away, i had a rash in between my thigh. i went to the doctoer and she told me it was just heat rash and to put on destin. it went away after a couple days. i had stool samples done which all came back fine. i had a blood test which came back stating my cholesterol was a little high and i had elevated liver enzymes. i have been stressing so bad it is ruining my life. i had a oraqick test done a week after exposure, came back negative, a home access hiv test kit 3 weeks after exposure, came back negative, and a rapid test done 7 weeks after exposure came back negative. could the diarrea just be stress?how reliable s a 7 week rapid test? i feel fine now, which btw when i got sick i noticed everybody around me was getting sick, i did sweat a little at night but not too much. i dont know do u? thank you

You didn't have a risk for HIV, as you used a condom (whether there was blood on it or not).
