please help

hey everyone I need some help. So approx 10 weeks ago I had unprotected sex with a female. I contracted chamidia from her. Then exactly one week later the hell started. Fever lasting two weeks 99.5, swollen tonsils (looked like step), sore throat (continuing to this day), rash on my face (resembling butterfly rash), thrush on tongue, and persistent diarrhea (with stomach rumble through out the day), also lethargy.

Now here's the tests I've taken so far:
Rna pcr 21 days
4th gen antigen/antibody 4 wks
4th gen 6 weeks
4th gen 10 weeks
All negative, problem is symptoms are persisting and I had a cbc done
Results: high wbc 11.8
High absolute neutrophils 8638
Neutrophils 73.2 lymphocytes 19.6
Absolute lymphocytes 2313
I can't see my doc till next week, anyone have any advice? What do you think? Please help

Also all these symptoms have been persisting for quite some time like 8 weeks. Is that too long for ARS?  I though no tests were accurate till 12 weeks?

4th gen duo tests are conclusive after 28 days from exposure. You are conclusively negative many times over. You do not have HIV.

Your test results are conclusively negative. You do not have HIV. Symptoms are not used to diagnose HIV because they are too vague to distinguish from anything else.

HIV tests are among the most accurate of all the lab tests on the market. If you had HIV you would've tested positive by now. It's time to let this go and work with your doctor to determine what is going on since you have now 100% conclusively ruled out HIV multiple times.
