does medication for ms delay the production of hiv antibodies

I posted a question in another forum regarding my risk. I am a woman who had vaginal sex using a condom with a man who travels widely throughout the world. I am sure that I am not his only pit stopp. but we used protection... it remained in tact no catestrophic breakage.I spoke with him and he did say that it slipped dow a little but it looked ok when he pulled out.my concern is that i have been experiencing generalized swollen glands. i dont have a fever and havent had one my highest was 99.6 my lowest is 97.2. I have had fatigue muscle and joint pain since about 5 days after having sex with him on 12/10/09. since then I have had nodes go up and down some spots some days and some the others, I have had loose stools 2 times no fever. i get up in the morning and my tmep is higher but generally goes down. he said that he had not been tested recently and that is all the infromation he would provide,

I have tested negative a 4 weeks using a home access test.

my question is my ms medication going to strech out the time to test positive.

are my nodes going up and down in response to my 3 times weekly medication. I know that my meds do something to immune response, but I am not sure what.

i am terribly worried...i stopped taking my injections for 3 days and i seemed to feel worse nodes sores and muscle aches return.

please help me docs i am so confused. i am going to tes again at 6 and 8 weeks but do the time to test standards apply to me?

I know that you all deal with alot of paranoid folks on this site.. During this time of stress we add up the what ifs and did i miss something. I am just so in fear because my body is just not right. The lymp nodes and muscle aches a re scaring the mess out of me. I appreciate your responses to me they are reassuring. I took the teast at four weeks to try to reassure myself that what you all said was true. One last questions is it not possible to get hiv form someone when the condom slips down? it was actually quite full of his semen.
