I would love to consider it conclusive but as per CDC, only a 12th week result is conclusive. Now you result would be an excellent indicator.
Since it was unprotected, you must get tested. One cannot diagnose HIV with symptoms, so it is advised that you get tested. A test 3 months after your last risky exposure will be conclusive.
Always have safe sex. A condom is the cheapest and the easiest way to prevent transmission of HIV. Using a condom might make sex a little less pleasurable, but it is far better than having to live a life with HIV. All the best.

Hiv is not diagnosed by symptoms. Only by testing will you know your status. Take a simple antibody test at 12 weeks from your last exposure. It will conclusively tell you your status.
