Anxious about exposure with csw

Hlo friends,
On 5th september i had sex with a csw in canada. During intercourse while she was up on me i saw condom bit wrinkled and it looked like that its not there although it was bit dark. I really had doubt about this  thing . I remember when i ejaculated she quickly removed condom.. so i didnt checked it.. Now on 6th october i started having sore throat which was there for 5-6 days.. m nt sure about fever in these days because i worked in these days normal routine.. but after waking in the mornig throat used to be bit more irritating.on 17th october i did rapid hiv testing it came negative..  then on 26th october almost 51 days after exposure a combo architect ag/ab 4th generation was done it also came negative... but m still bit worried.
I have following questions
1. Are results reliable?
2.if my sore throat was related to hiv would i have been detected postive by test done?
3.I have read that cdc recommend 45 days window period for 4th gen combo test done by blood drawn from vein.is that ryt?

Hello,
If the condom had failed you would have noticed it.
Protected sex is SAFE sex.
No need to worry.
Take care

Thanxx for early response. I have a query like for worse scenario if condom would have broken. Then are these tests good enough.?. the only thing which scared me is sore throat and very very mild fever..like i cant even notice i had fever because as soon as sore throat started i started taking tylenol and i was working as per my routine and i took tylenol for 2 or 3 times. I know risk is low. But i dont want to take chance.. should i need another testing?
Even if the condom had broken, your tests are conclusive.  The combo test that you took is conclusive any time 28 days or more post-exposure.  Time to move on from this event.
