exposure 9 weeks ago and scared

Hello i had exposure with a woman i met off craigslist like a idiot, unprotected vaginal lasted less than 5 mins didnt not ejaculate inside of her. she claimed she is clean.
2 weeks later i got a stuffed nose, sore throat, chills. it lasted a couple of days.
week 3 i started to cough cause of a itchy throat, this did not last long.
weeks 6-8 i started to get tingling/ burning feeling in my arms, legs, and a slim small dark line on my big toe. this has been the most stressful 2 half months of my life i been so stressed out and now im getting constant small headaches. im not sure to trust my test results due to my symptoms but i know you cant determine hiv due to symptoms. i never had night sweats, vomit, or seen any noticeable body rashes, no swollen lymp node but tender ones on my neck, arm pits and groin area.

i took a oral quick test weeks 3,5, 8,9 negative. also been tested for other STDs came out negative
a AG/AB 4th gen test at 7 weeks and 5 days negative and due for another next week which will be at 10 weeks and 5 days. if results come out negative can i move on with my life? please somebody help

Hello,
Unprotected sex poses a risk of HIV transmission.
An HIV test at the right time will give you accurate results.
A 4th generation test should be done at 4 weeks post exposure and a simple HIV test at three months post exposure.
I would consider accurate your 4th generation's test result.
Take care
