Very streesed with recent exposure

Hello There, really appreciate your help.

I had 2 exposures in germany with female csw(there is 3 weeks gap between 2 exposures)...first one was an escort serice... which involves protected oral on me and unprotected oral i have performed on her. He second was in brothel and just did the protected vaginal sex (not sure, i guess the condom was intact) ... i went back to check back..weather condom break or not and she said condom was fine.

I have done 4 test (duo test) at 3, 4, 6 and 8 week after first exposure... the last one was 8 wee after first exposure and 5 week after 2nd exposure... during this period i had extreme anxiety and had many health issues since i realized that i am expose to hiv (few hours after 2nd exposure...i was panixk like anyyhig)

I had ear infection, little soar throat...tightness in the throat and buring sensation in throat....i had 2 cource of antibiotics ... everything feels ok now but still have burning senation in throat (this geats worst towards the end of day and when i am stressed)

My queetions is ...are my symptoms related th hiv and is my last test consluive (5 weeks after exposure- duo test)

Thabks for your help.

I agree with your Dr as no need to test. DUO at 4 weeks is conclusive and an antibody test at 8 weeks is conclusive, when you have a risk.
