Need help. Hiv scare

Well I had unprotected sex with a male back in the beginning of November and then 2 days later that same week I became constipated and my bowel movements began to change. Also at the same time these pimple like bumps appeared on my neck area and one on my face. I would pop them and then they would be come scabs and go away. I got my test done the on the week of thanksgiving and as the days went on I became more and more scared. On that Friday of that week I felt a lymph node in my neck that is under my jaw swell up and only hurt for a day and does not feel hard at all. As the weekend goes by my nerves are shot and I can't wait for my results so I go to a free hiv test location with same day results and the results came back negative. Then there days later my first test comes back as negative as well and when I found out my status the bumps were gone and I calmed down. But I was still worried so two weeks later I got an at home test and came back negative as well. Now recently I got a cold with a stuffy nose and slight dry thorat. I saw little bumps on my arms that made me panic all over again. Then today I look inside my mouth and see tiny red spots on the roof of my mouth which has me really worried. Can someone please help clear up stuff and help with this?

Anal sex. I was the one on top. And I got tested on the 19th and had sex on the 5th.
Testing early is a waste of time. Duo is conclusive after 4 weeks. Any other after 12 although some say 6 for any other is conclusive. Docs can't diagnose from symptoms so you shouldn't be wasting your time trying to do that either - only a test provides answers so try to relax - stop examining and poking your body - until you can take one at the correct time.
Thank you for the advice. I also did a take home test on the 14th of this month and it came back negative As well. I plan on getting another test this week coming up.
It is abnormal to test repeatedly, so take one at the proper time then move on if negative.

If you had unprotected sex chance of hiv or even less like 1 in 1000 so dont worry anxiety and stress also cause physological impact on body you will feel same symptoms due to excessive thinking i suggest you no to think much and stay away form searching of googling things on internet

For peace of mind take duo test at 28 days i am sure it will be 100 percent negative dont freak out be strong you wil be safe

Remember more you think more you will effect yourself anxiety stress and depression are very dangerous so keep yourself busy
