Do HIV symptoms occur at different times?

I had unprotected sex at the end of march. About a month later I got a cold- sore throat, stuffy and runny nose, with no other symptoms- no fever, no muscle aches, etc. Also went away pretty quickly.
I have been on birth control for some time too. I’ve recently switched pills (maybe end of May beginning of June) and noticed that my breasts we’re very itchy consistently. Around 4 days ago, I noticed what looked like hives on my breasts. I figured this was an allergic reaction to the new birth control pill. Yesterday, I became paranoid wondering if my lymph nodes would swell up as well and further add to my paranoia of having contracted HIV. I consistently palpated around my neck throughout the ENTIRE day, sometimes being quite rough. Last night I then began to feel a small lump under my chin. It seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and I’m wondering if my consistent palpating of my neck has irritated the area, or if the itchy rash caused my lymph nodes to swell, OR if these are symptoms of ARS. I just wanted a second or third person’s opinion to help my paranoia.

Symptoms can be confusing, and they are never used to diagnose HIV. If your exposure was at the end of March it's been already almost 3 months. If you go for a duo combo ag/ab test, the result will be accurate. If you go for a normal antibodies test (finger-prick) the result will be so accurate, but not at 100%, unless it's been right three months.

All the best.
