Fear of HIV

I am 40 year male and had possible unprotected expose to a prostitute (due to condom slipped at the end) for about a couple minutes on 012/04/2011. Following are the test results:

Syphilis Non Reactive Non Reactive Negative 01/03/2012 01/04/2012

From last a couple weeks I suffered from following:
1) Started (12/23) with eye irritation / infection (Went off after a week by using drops prescribed by eye doctor)
2) Taste buds started turning white (12/23) with light white coating on the tongue (Still persist) no pain
3) Slight head ache
4) Slight cold
5) No sour throat
6)small dots on upper lip
7) Feels like fever but no temperature. Body pains, unable to sleep (It's gone after 2 weeks)
8) Tongue has swollen little bit for almost 10 days now. No pain
9) Penile became small all of a sudden with painless small dots (could be due to anxiety) One doctor told that I developed hernia and other mentioned could be due to lack of hormones

Do you think I am suffering from or getting chance of HIV?
Doctors performed lots of tests and everything is negative as of now. I am mainly scared of HIV and any un-curable disease.
How accurate is DNA test?I mean is there any change people who got negative turn to positive after 3 months? I have not tested from one moth after rapid test.

Thank you for the reply. They did antibody along with RNA and it is negative too.

A pcr-RNA test has to be used in conjunction with an antibody test.
