Your symptoms started 7 weeks after your risk, which is unusually late for HIV ARS.

You can be sure that you are HIV negative only with a test taken at least 3 months after your risk.  Your result on Tuesday will be fairly reliable, but not conclusive.

i also forgot to mention that i had diahrea for a couple days and i think im getting a yeast infection, is that consistant? i was also thinking that maybe the palpitations were really my lymph nodes, do you think thats possible?thank you so much for taking the time out to help me

Too late and not consistent with ARS.
Heart palpitations on neck may be anxiety
Good luck with your tests
