Can this be seroconversion??? Help!

I was tested for HIV at 3 months and one week after a possibly HIV exposure and the rapid antibody test was negative. Now one week later (14 weeks  since exposure) I have developed a terrible sore throat and it looks like I may have the flu and or a cold. My question is can this be the seroconversion stage? Is it possible that my 13 week negative result change at 14 weeks?

The 6 month window period is outdated.

Your test results are conclusive and very accurate.

No your test result is conclusive.

Your symptoms have nothing to do  with hiv.
