ELISA third generation test at 56 days

Hello there, I’ll go as short as I can to describe my situation, I’m a 35 years old man, and I had sex with a sex worker for 2 intercourses the first one was protected when the condom went half way after ejaculation while I still inside her vagina and when I went out of her I found some drops of my semen are on the bed
The second one with the same girl was unplanned while we was in body to body rapping and I’m not sure if I was contacting her vaginal fluids or not and I already “for this intercourse” ejaculated over her body.
Then I started to think about HIV infection and got crazy, early in next two weeks I start have a mild favor, white spots on my lips, across all that time until now “almost 90 days” I have the followings,
• Losing weight for almost 7 KG within 2.5 months
• Swollen nodes across my nick, groin and armpit
• Sore throat for almost 4 days
• Pink and red batches across my body sometimes its itching and sometimes not
• Running nose and fatigue      
I did the following tests
• Day 18 EILSA third generation test and came back negative
• DAY 20 RNA PCR for HIV 1 and came back undetectable
• Day 56 Two ELISA third generation test and both came back negative
• Day 58 western blot for HIV 1&2 and came back negative
My questions is there any chance could cause a change of my 56 days results since that after my last tests I start to develop the above mentioned symptoms “the pullets one”
Please, I know its not a new questions to ask but you cannot imagine how much is the stress and anxiety that I have since that I’m extremely worried about my wife
Thanks and really appreciate the effort that all of you are giving here

Condoms only have to cover the head of your penis. HIV transmission does not take place outside the host.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
