ON THE EDGE :*(

Hello everyone, I am a 19 year old teen who is on the verge of losing his mind! I have never been so scared/stressed in my whole life.... I have made 2 horrible mistakes that i am going to regret for the rest of my lfie! I had unprotected sex on two seperate occasions with the same girl, a 18 year old out of Los angeles.... I believed her and i put my trust in her..... She reassured me that she was clean from all STDs, I found out on August the 12th i got Chlamidya from her and this honestly changed my life, i have never been so ashamed in my 19 years of living... The two times we had sex were on May 21st and June 12th... Exactly 10.5 weeks after my second encounter on August 26th I began feeling extreamly sick, I developed muscle aches, night sweats, low fever 101 and a light sore throat "Symtoms only lasted 2 days".... was this ARS at "10.5 weeks" post encounter??? I decided that night i was going to get a HSV1/2 test done and a HIV test done, My HSV results came back negative as well as my HIV it was <1.0 NON REACTIVE, I tested threw health care partners and i believe the tests were done at LabCorp. My main questions are....

1.) Were my risks  high risk encounters?
2.) If what i expirenced was ARS symtoms at 74days would that effect my test i took the same night? HIV non reactive results?
3.)Would my non reactive result be accurate from my first encounter on May 21st? "90 days after exposure"? and would they also be conlusive from my second encounter June 12th "74 days"?
4.) I have read post that Dr s. Handsfield and Hook have answered on HIV testing and they both say after 8 weeks 99% OF TEST RESULTS ARE CONCLUSIVE... would this be true from my encounters that accured 13.5 and 10.5 weeks prior to being tested?

Please i beg of you to help me here, I am a teen who is starting his life and i just received a football scholarship from the University of Washington and USC....... please help me

thank you...
I did get treated for my chlamidya, and i was wondering when i fell sick 10.5 weeks after my second exposure could that have been ars? amd if it was and i decided to get tested that night, would my result have came back positive?

I am sorry to know that you got Chlamidya. well yes urs was a high risk encounter but considering hiv transmission rate from female to male is very low (1 in 1000) you can still look forward to ur 3 months negative from ur last exposure. I see ur 10.5 weeks negative from ur last exposure as promising and almost certain. Chlamidya can be treated do get the treatment ASAP and refrain from any sex during the treatment phase for a week. Dont worry u are almost clear of HIV, put ur mind at rest, go back for a 3 months post exposure test from ur last exposure and I am sure it will be a negative. In future please use condoms
