Does Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) extend HIV window period

130 days ago, I had an unprotected vaginal intercourse with a sex worker, a very short cunningulus of probably 5 seconds and a short french kiss. On the 32nd day, I got 0.050 negative results with the chiv (combo) kit on the Siemens device. 59th day 0.28 negative result from cobas e601 device. and on the 129th day I got 0.050 results again with the chiv (combo) kit from the Siemens device. If I was infected with the Ebv virus from this woman, do you think it extends the HIV window period. The sore throat and muscle aches I felt were not very intense but were very intense before.

"Do you think something else is the cause of the throat?"  Yes, obviously, since you don't have hiv it can't be the cause of your sore throat. See doc.

It is not smart to have unprotected vaginal with a sw. However the good news is that a duo is conclusive after 4 weeks so move on from hiv fears.

You are just guessing you have EB (which btw would be irrelevant to the test results), which is a pretty wild diagnosis for a person with no medical training to make.  It is not surprising that you got infected with a sore throat if you kiss people like her who probably kisses every guy in town.

Yes, I took a huge risk. Do you think something else is the cause of the throat. There was no swelling in my lymph nodes and my body temperature did not rise at all.

I read in some sources that ebv can extend the hiv window period. On the 59th day, my values ​​like LYM # NE # were normal. I am 21 years old and I don't know if I have any immune conditions. Please inform if you have read such a source or have seen a case. I may be misinterpreting what I read.
