HIV negative EIA test at 70 days post exposure

Hey everyone, so on October 10th i had unprotected anal and vaginal sex with a guy friend who claims hes clean but who knows anymore. Around November 22nd approx 6 weeks later I began feeling fatigued, severe dry mouth, dry eyes, white tongue, itchy flakey skin, clogged dry nose, few bouts of diarrhea, abdominal cramping you name it. All the symptoms went away but the severe dry mouth eyes and nose remain. I took an oraquick swab 8 weeks past exposure negative. Then another one at 9 weeks also negative. I still did not believe it so I went to my GP and requested an HIV blood test, it was 3rd generation EIA test for HIV 1/2 nonreactive 10 weeks post exposure. but what worries me is that my WBC count was elevated at 12.5 along with my neutrophils and alt was slightly raised too. I was also tested for Hep A,B,C nonreactive. Could I still be in the process of seroconversion? I dont take drugs or have never had an immunity problem. I do not know what else could be causing these symptoms. Whenever I look up dry mouth/eyes HIV comes up. Or could I possibly be in late stage HIV from a previous ex from years ago? I dont know what to think anymore. Can my 10 week test later turn positive?? I still bouts of diarrhea and dry itchy skin and dry lips and etc..How could i be sure that i will not seroconvert after 70 days?

Hi, testing negative at the 10 week mark is not going to change at the 12 weeks mark which is the recommended window period.
