HIV symptoms?

HI everyone, I am recently having symptoms like bloating (no diarrhea or pain), noticed a mouth ulcer and swollen gland under the jaw which isn't visible. My last exposure was last week with my boyfriend of 6 months when we had unprotected anal sex. We both got tested negative before having unprotected sex which itself is a rarity and started about 3 months ago. We have a strictly monogemous relationship. I got tested once again after being paranoid through rapid finger prick test on Monday and it came out negative. Should I he concerned?

Hello,
Unprotected sex poses a risk of HIV transmission.
An HIV test at the right time will give you accurate results.
A 4th generation test should be done at 4 weeks post exposure and a simple HIV test at three months post exposure.
Keep calm and test at the right time.
Take care
