Worried on exposure

I had visited a CSW in South Afrcia and had received oral sex from her. I also had protected vaginal sex. Now exactly three weeks later, i have swollen lymph nodes on the neck ( two on my left side under the jaw) and one on the right under my jaw, all around 7 mm in diameter. Also I have sore throat for a week ( no pain, only extreme irritation). I also have a mouth sore ( canker sore) thats been around for two weeks. Im pretty certain Im on my way to being HIV positive. Is there anyway I will be HIV negative?
I have a wife and child and I can't sleep or do anything. Im really troubled.

Dear Sir, i went to the doctor. he is telling me that these are definitely ars symptoms since i had no other illness. he says all my symptoms came at once and disappeared exactly like ars symptoms. and because its in the window period and since there was no other viral infection and also because i had an exposure, he says i must do a test. also he says my sore throat appeared to be severe the way i described it, just like hiv sore throat. he rules out mono and is very much concerned if i have caught hiv.now im very worried.
