You had condom-protected sex.  This is NO RISK for HIV.  You didn't need to test at all.  Your test results are conclusive no matter what.

I don't know what your symptoms are, but they are not HIV.  You did not get HIV from condom-protected sex with a CSW.  CSWs provide condoms to protect themselves from YOU.  They would not provide inferior condoms and if your condom had broken, you would have known.  The CSW would have paid attention and would have been distressed if the condom had broken.  Also, it would be hard to removed.

HSV has no effect, especially when you had no risk at all.

After all those tests you are most likely negative, symptoms means nothing, test reults does.

What was your risk? As I've said previously some HIV experts consider Duo test conclusive at 28 days, some say 6 weeks, most people seroconvert before 6 weeks, so with your negatives test it is unlikely you have HIV.

Also don't let this ruin your life.

The PCR test looks for the virus itself, its a good test at seven weeks, although it has a risk of false positives.

The duo test is an excellent test, the gold standard of HIV testing, judging by the test you've already had expect another negative.
