Unprotected sexual encounter. RAPID HIV NEGATIVE TEST 14 weeks.

Hello everyone. I've made a huge mistake and I regret it till this day. I had unprotected sex with a guy on August 17th 2015. The sex only lasted for about 1 min he did not ejaculate and he said he didn't have any precum.. I stopped him at 1 min because I realized I was making a terrible decision and putting myself at risk for an STD!!!. After the whole the thing happened me and this guy stopped talking. He then later told me he's going to sexual health clinic to get his penis checked because he found some bumps on his shaft. He called me after the checkup and told me got Molluscum. I of course freaked out like any normal person would. I started checking my private area for almost 2 weeks until I got the courage to go to the sexual health clinic myself. I then got screened for almost everything for ex, Chlymidia, Ghonorrea, Syphillis HEP C and HIV. They all came back negative. BTW I got blood drawn from my vein for THE Syphillis HEP C and HIV after 6 weeks = NEG. I then started delevoping a phobia about HIV couldn't sleep for days, couldn't eat, or function properly due to stress and anxiety. I then developed a swollen lymph node on my right side of my neck underjaw. Got an ultrasound and said it's a nodule that's 3.5 mm which I don't know is a normal size for a lymph node or not. I'm freaking out because i've read that a swollen lymph node can mean you have HIV. I then got the strength to wait and get tested on November 16th 2015 at a sexual health clinic taking the RAPID HIV TEST after 2 min i got my result and it was negative. I'm getting into a serious relationship now and I truly admire this person i'm planning to be serious with.. and I want to know i'm 100% clean, and I can't look at him because I feel terrible thinking I might still have this fear forever. I also read that some people might develop enough antibodies at 6 months which freaking me out even more. I'm sorry for the long post.

I want to truly thank MedHelp!

By the way he developed the Molluscum after we stopped talking.. and he said that he got a blow job from a girl and developed it after me. I never noticed any bumps at the time of exposure.
