Oral Test accuracy @ 5 weeks

Hello all...  I had a shady encounter with a sex worker in Turkmenistan 7 weeks ago.   I got scared reading all the symptoms on the net so I went and got tested at 5 weeks using the oral quick test.  It came up negative.  What are the real stats on the accuracy at 5 weeks using that test?   The reason I ask is that now I have a slight episode of thrush starting here at 7 weeks.  Thanks...

If you used a condom correctly then you did not acquire HIV from this episode.

5 weeks is a pretty good indicator but 13 weeks is conclusive.
