Show I still be worried after 18 weeks?

Hi, I had unprotected sex with someone back in may of 2018. It didn't worry me any until I got with my now girlfriend and she got sick a few weeks into us being together. Not very sick just sick enough to worry me about my potential exposure. I took an oraquick in home test at approximately 9 weeks since I had the unprotected sex. It came back negative.i took another at 13 weeks. This too came back negative. At around 15 weeks I started having a headache and swelling around the neck and jaw. This could be my wisdom teeth impacting like x-rays showed. But me being the worried man I am I took another araquick at 18 weeks. This too came back negative. I am a healthy 19 year old heterosexual white man. Should I stop worrying?

Forget about that event and move on.  ANY test you take will be conclusive by 12 weeks post-event.  You've had 2 negatives since 12 weeks passed.   You don't have HIV.
