How accuret is vidas (duo test) at 25 post exposure?

Hello, i had unnprotected sex with this guy that i barely knew ( im a 23 year old girl ) and this guy loves women too much as in he would do anything to sleep with anyone! Since that i started worriying that what if i contracted hiv from him. Anyways after 9 days when i went to pee i saw 3 drops of  blood in my urine so i rushed to the A&E and they told me that the could i have blood in urine but it was negative so they said that my period is comming. they also checked for hiv using the figer prick which was neg but told me to have another one later on as its too early to test for hiv. Two days later when i was getting shower and i was weeing i saw more blood in my urine i was conviced is not because of my period as it didnt even come yet and has to be with sexual intercourse i had! I started going out of my mind. So that same day i went to the local gum clinic they tested my urine and said that there was not blood present at that time and said i had UTI and  gave me tablets to take for two days. In that time (two weeks) i lost 2.5kg and then i was reading sympthons of hiv and waight lost was one of them at this point i conviced my self that i had hiv. When i spoke to my doctor he said that blood in urine is never nothink to the with hiv.but i was still conviced it was! I think there was a change in my bowel movent two! 25 days after expousure I took a test, they call the VIDAS (duo test) which thank god came back negative and the lady said that i dont need to come back i was anymore i was so happy and later i started thinking why did not advice me to come back   after three months. I always had heartburn when i drunk tea and i always had dry skin but i know now its more and developed a cold after 6 weeks after and a bit of temperature when i went to sleep and woke i noticed that i sweted quite a lot and the next day i was feeling better i still have runny nose and sore throte and swet a little a at night . My other concern is that my period is running late the second time. My question is do you think is stress and fact that i lost 2.5kgs in so little time cousing a little change in my bowel movements? And that i have more dry skin and heart burn could it be because i have hiv and therefore im more prone to things . My other question is realible is the 25 day test ? Sorry for the long story and thank you werry much for your opinion on my story

I very much doubt that you will test positive after a negative duo test at 25 days.  

I think you have nothing to worry about, just learn from this and make sure you always use condoms in the future.
