HIV from Oral sex?

I gave oral sex (licked anus/vagina for around 1 minute) to a sex worker around 3 months ago and I had some symptoms which started around 2 weeks after exposure which includes fever up to 100 for 2 days .... itching and redness due to itching (lasted for 2-3 weeks), Felt extremes fatigue, weakness and low fever around 99.3 on/off for more than 2 months. Now I feel better almost like normal but sometimes lightheadness.

Q. I got tested for HIV antibody around 7 weeks after exposure it was negative. Some says at 6 weeks most infection will be detected and very unlikely to change at 12 weeks time. Is this True?

Q. Now As 3 months has completed should I get tested to assure myself that I don't have HIV infection or my 7 week test is enough. It really hard and fearful to go and get tested again.

Q. I am not having sex with my wife from almost 3 months due to this fear. Is it sex safe to have unprotected sex with my wife or Should I get tested before having sex with her to make sure?

Test after 12 weeks is 100% conclusive for everybody regardless of what medicine he/she is taking because I am taking medicine for depression/anxiety from last 1 month.
