Question Need Answer

Hi Friends,
I need a help. I had a protected intercourse with a CSW.
I wouldn't be so concerned if I didnt get this gradual symptoms which increased 3 week mark.
1st - sore throat
2nd - runny nose
3rd - cough
Now I know symptoms are not reliable. Also I might caught the a garden virus from a funeral that I attended. Now my biggest concern was, the cough went away but the runny nose persist until yesterday which was 88 days.
I didn't have any lymph nodes enlargement or rash.
I did went for a test a duo :

2nd week / 16 days
4 weeks /27 days
9 weeks / 61 days
Result Negative

Rapid AB
5 WEEKS
7 WEEKS
12 WEEKS - 83 DAYS
NEGATIVE.

So can I conclude I'm safe? If in a way i did have an exposure, wouldn't any of these test came back positive? Do I need a test after this? When do ab produced during ars?

You can;t get HIV when you used a condom, so it was abnormal to do all that testing. People cough on your lips and door knobs so you got a sore throat like billions of other negative people and should expect one to occur at any time, not just after sex.
Btw the rapid is not conclusive until 3 months, except in your case since there is no disease to test for.
