please answer anxity is killing me

hello all

I have oral (deep throat) and protected vagina sex (not sure whether any break at condom) with a china prostitute(chances she is hiv positive is high) 10 weeks ago. After the sex, i realised there is a broken skin on the skin on my penis but not painful and no sign of blood.

Symptoms
15 days after exposure - Low grade fever (less then 100F), very tire, loss appetite and gassy stomach, lasted for 5 days.

6 weeks - Swelling lymph node at my neck, stiff neck, mucles pain at my armpit and groin area but not sure is it any swelling lymph note in these areas.

7 weeks (52days) - ELISA rapid antibody test - negative

10 weeks - Swelling lymph node at my neck since the 6th weeks still there. On top of that i felt two more swelling lymph nodes at my neck which are very painful. No fever and other symptoms. Now i have 3 nodes that is swelling at my neck. I am very worry about this swelling lymph nodes as i could not explain why it is there.


Question
1. Can i be infected through the exposure above?
2. Can i relied of the 7 weeks result?
3. Can my test at 12 weeks later turn positive?
4. Is all ARS symptoms happen in the same time or one and other in few weeks time? Say 2 to 6 weeks after exposure? Is my symptoms suggest HIV infection?
5. Will my test at 7 weeks reliable if my first symptoms is 2 weeks after the exposure?
6. I know the probability of me infected is low. However, the 10 weeks symptoms worry me so much as i have read a lot about swelling lymph nodes indicate HIV infection.
7. Is it normal if the swelling lymph nodes painful?  

I am very worry and need your advice to move on.

You didn't have a risk so nothing else matters when it comes to HIV.
