unprotected vaginal sex and swollen glands

Hello, Im a 22 yr old male that had unprotected sex with a female that is 21. We dated for a bout 2 months before having sex. She said shes negative but 3 weeks, but after the  last time we had sex( we had unprotected sex 3 times). I woke up with  sore throat.  I didnt think anything about and thought it was a cold. Then 3 days later I felt an aching feeling under my neck so I felt my neck and it was 2 swollen glands. The next day I woke up to 3 more in my neck. I felt I something pulsating under my arms that comes and goes (not painful , just annoying) and I felt nothing under them. The next day I found the early in HIV, swollen lymph glands are common with sore throat and I checked around under my arms and groin and felt nothing even though I felt a little pain that came went, but it didn't hurt to touch it. I checked the next day and felt 3  pea size glands in armpit and 2 in another. i felt the groin and felt some pea size gland, but was not sure. IF IT WAS DUE TO EARLY HIV, SHOULD I HAVE FELT THE LYMPH GLANDS THE SAME DAY AS THE SORE THOAT? DO  ALL THE GLANDS  SWELL AT THE SAME TIME ?  IS PULSING FELT AT THE SPOT WHERE THE GLAND WILL SWELL? i am going to the doctor to get tested tomorrow. it has been a month since the last time we had sex. Please help, anybody.

You can never really rely on anyone elses results.
you don't know when the last time she tested was or if she did test ever.
But i would say you two should both get tested at 4-6 weeks.
Then again at like 3months. If the relationship you two are in doesn't go that far. next time you get into a relationship test before you decide to have unprotected sex! I mean the both of you!

Get Tested, and get your conclusive result after 3 months(exactly after the encounter)
