I'm scared I have HIV

Hi,
I'm a 25 year old male. I've had a clean bill of health. Recently, due to some judgement and self esteem, I had protected sex as well as I gave unprotected oral with 3 different escorts over the course of 2 months starting from the 1st week of November. I'm pretty sure that the condoms never broke. I had a slight cold and cough right after my first encounter. I had myself checked for Herpes, Chlamydia and Gonorrhoea. All the tests came out -ve. I've had a slight cold all throughout since. I traveled to NYC and a couple of colleagues at work were walking around with the flu. Recently I had a sudden rash around my neck and and shoulder blades. Today, I felt like as if I was burning up and my eyes were starting to burn (for about 30 mins or so).
I have gone and got myself tested. All the doctor told me to get myself tested after I told him my situation.
I'm really scared that I have contracted HIV even though all 3 women have told me that they are very safe and clean and get regular tests.
I cannot tend to think of anything and I notice everything that my body does and take it as a symptom.
I've read a lot online on the symptoms for HIV and I'm scared S*i#less.
I don't think I'll be able to face my family if this test does turn out to be positive.
My whole life would be decimated and I would live for the rest of my life with the guilt and shame.
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
