Strange sensation in throat without fever=ARS?

Hello,

to be real short here I had unprotected sex twice with the same girl on the same day. From what I know of her recent past is that she had sex with two other people before me this year (not sure if unprotected).

9 days after the incident my head felt heavy, almost like a fever, and i went to the doctors 3 hours later and my temperature was 98.3 which was normal. it lasted about 26 hours and slowly dissipated. I then got a weird sensation in my throat/airways like an urge to cough but I do not cough at all. I force myself to cough to hopefully clear the sensation, and it doesnt work. It does not disrupt me at night when i sleep though which is odd, and working out seems to not increase the effect to make me cough either. I also had one lymph node under my jaw swell up bad and it hurt, but it went away after a few hours. I am two days shy of it being 3 weeks now since the incident, and my question is obvious:

Is a weird cough sensation in my airway a sign of HIV without fever? And when you get one symptom of ARS do the rest of the symptoms (or some) come together all at once rather than a different symptom each day?

To hopefully make me feel better, I had the girl get tested 7 days after the incident and she came back clean. I know she should still get tested once more in a few weeks, but i don't know what to think of it. I am getting tested at my 4 week to see how it goes.

any ideas?

thank you

I must also add if this turns into a cough, is a dry cough a symtom of ARS without fever?
