scared of hiv

Had sex with a prostitute wearing a condom, but after a while I experienced a burning sensation while urinating and consulted a health proffessional who diagnosed me of UTI without been
screened. After 27 days took an ELISA Combo test and
came negative, after researched a lot had the test
should be taken aat 28 day mark. At sixth  week felt a
small lump on my left shoulder near the neck by
touching and left of my groin and went to see a doctor
who examined me and said there is nothing , at seven
week, developed rash on my skin but it looks like acne
since they have no red dot, and then out of anxiety my
right side of groin started feeling pain but felt nothing
and also woke up today with pain on my armpits but no lump. My question 1) can one get sti symptoms less than a day 2) can I take another
test for my results to be conclusive.

Any std (non-HIV) questions need to be asked in the std forum.

You did not have a risk and do not need to test. Period.

If your protection did not fail during penetration, your sex was protected and you do not need any test.
