hey all on med help

i have a couple of things i would like to disscuss the first one i mention was deemed no risk by aidsmeds members which i believe they were correct about now as after having a host of symptoms i tested negative after 13 weeks and 3 days of protected sex with csw.
now my other encounters have happened over past month 2 months as 2 month ago i had deep kissing with girl who i have now learned to be a drug user i had a lot to drink that night and i never normally let alcohol cloud my judgement,
ive had no symptoms of ars from this incident.
then 2 weeks ago i was biting my nails in the nightclub then without realising i rubbed a girl around her vagina didnt insert fingers but she was very wet, i then noticed afterwards (3 min) where i was biting my nails it was abtively
bleeding.
4 days afterwards i had headache for about a week, then 2 weeks after( sunday just gone) i had swollen gland by jleft hand side aw, also feel nodes around outer edge of my left pectoral which is tender.
from information i  already know i know conclusive testing can be done after 3 months, but i was wondering how much of a risk am i at, and is this what ars symptoms are like
