Probability of HIV ? help most welcomed

I am a male who has had one encounter of unprotected vaginal sex with a sex worker since then i have taken a duo anti gen antibody 4th generation test 16 days  after exposure i understand that this is not conclusive and i must be tested after 3 months but for the sake of reassurance how accurate is such a test after 16 days in terms of percentage? I am constantly worried and i have acquired all the HIV symptoms possible 5 weeks after exposure your help will be much appreciated.

3 months post exposure and you can obtain your conclusive test result.

I understand tests are only conclusive after 3 months but i have read duo  test will measure the appearance of the p24 antigen 10 days after infection and peak at 16 days so i was wandering what  the probability is  that i might not be infected as i  feel i have all the symptoms and i need any type of assurance i could get. In terms of a percentage or likelihood
