OraQuick-In-Home-HIV-Test

Hello, I have a question about OraQuick oral swab- In-Home-HIV-Test... I had kind of unprotected sex with a girl that she told me she is ok and she doesn't have HIV, that was as i remember, I'm pretty much sure on Dec 26 2013 then after 2 weeks i woke one day I had a pain in my shoulder, neck and my arms (including needles... pins and twitching and sometimes weakness in both arms) then 2 weeks after i started having like pain in my legs around the knees and thighs and sometimes they become red they are not itchy but they ache me, pain such like i have been walking or standing for a long time and the redness comes and goes... I keep thinking about HIV it's really freaking me out and become anxious because of it. Then i found out about OraQuick oral swab i tested myself 2 times on February 12 2014 (7 weeks after exposure) it was negative and then i kept thinking about it and about the 90 days mark for testing all the time and I tested myself again on March 27 2013, (13 weeks, 91 days after exposure) then again i tested myself yesterday April 1,2014 ( 96 days after exposure which almost week 14) all the test results were NEGATIVE... I'm sorry for this stupid question but Can I trust that test kit which is FDA approved and they sell them everywhere... And how about the test result is it right at day 96 (after 3 month mark) I'm not infected with HIV??? Please I need somebody expert that can give me an answer that will calm me down lil bit.

Thank u so much.
