6 months follow up ?

Good evening , in many forums I read that if you have had sex with someone who is HIV+ (and this is my case ) the window period or clinical evaluation should be extended to 6 months . I have done 6 tests of the 4th generation in 100 days after the high risk exposure .Now after 110 days I still have some suspicious symptoms such as painful lymph nodes , fatigue and itching. Is it possible for me to seroconvert in the next two or three months? In addition, the boy HIV+ discovered to be positive after an ELISA + WB performed after about 20 days after having a passive anal intercourse with me (his latest test dates back to 2011).
Is it possible that it was me to transmit the infection ? ? In his case, the immune system has responded by 20 - 22 days in my case after 100 days there are still no detectable antibodies . I do not think I'm paranoid because in this case I think I have sufficient reason to have to worry much longer ...
Sorry for my english.
Thank you all .

  In an adult, a positive HIV antibody test result means that the person is infected, a person with a negative or inconclusive result may be in the “window for 4 to 6 weeks but occasionally up to 3 months after HIV exposure. Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results

Thank you very much for your answer , I can't understand the last part of your post :
" Persons at high risk who initially test negative should be retested 3 months after exposure to confirm results " I have had a very high risk exposure one for sure with a hiv+ boy ... Did you mean 3 months + 3 months ? My last neg. test was performed 100 days after my last exposure. My lynphnodes are not swollen but I feel some pain like a "little fire"  ( this simptom last for 2 and half moths and still persist ). In total I had 6 HIV ab/ag p24 tests in 100 days.
Do you really think I should be fine ?
Thank you.
