HIV Ars week 8 -- very worried

I had an exposure in April where I had unprotected oral and protected vaginal and anal sex in Thailand however the condom was stuck in her and when I ejaculated and come out the condom was left in .
I did a rapid test after 7 weeks and it came back negative , but in week 8 I started having muscles cramps and itchy rashes .
Can this be ARS symptoms and can they appear in week 8 ?
A 7 weeks HIV rapid test does it mean anything or it doesn't count at all and I have to only do one after 12 weeks,

Was the condom hanging out of her when you pulled out?

Your symptoms do not look like ARS. It is nhighly unlikely to have ARS after 8 weeks. Your tests are highly reassuring and will not going to change when you go for your 3 months test, which you need to get done for conclusive results
