screwed up

hi

i had a homesexual act . i am gay male. 15 days after i got fever for about three days. then day  my groin swell up . it still there , hurts when i touch it. it bothers me when i walk. . i can see the swelling a bit. also under my arm pit is a bit sore. i cannot see any lumps though on armpit  i did have a rash early around my neck chest ears. bright red. did not hurt. the thing is i took the the hiv nat at 11 days past expousre. at the time had no symptoms. it was negative. i have not taken another test casuse im sure im positive. im scared. i really thought the natt would have detected it after more than a week. anyways now i have this stupid swelling on my groin. i guess it wont go away. just diappointed that the natt failed. yes i know it was too early , ****.
