is it possible for me to test negative?

i had a moment of weakness had unprotected sex 6 weeks ago. i received prophylaxis for gonorrhea, trichomonasis and chlamydia. 12 days after started to feel as if i was coming down with a sore throat and fever gargled with salt water and rub neck with isopropyl alcohol and both went away, about 22 days after the same thing returned and repeated the process and had the same result. in the 3rd week after exposure noticed i lost 14 pounds also had neck pains and pains in my jaw and under my chin, stiffness in my neck, pain in my lower back. the 4th week found lymph tender lymph node in the groin and 1 by tender by my left elbow. on the 38th day had a fever of 99.3 Fahrenheit  and rub neck with alcohol and then immediately after notice some pimple like bumps on the neck, today the 41st day woke up feeling the back of my head stiff where occipital nodes are which then totally disappeared only for later in the day under my jaw begun to hurt again and the was this pain where the neck met the spine and found there was a swollen node there. 1. cam gargling salt water and rubbing with alcohol stop a ars related sore throat and fever? 2. what could the pimples on the neck be (they are still there)? 3. would the symptoms of arsor seroconversion be coming this late? sorry for the long post  :(

Keep rubbing and probing your lymph nodes and you are going to cause the to swell and hurt.

i am aware of that but you can see my cause for concern, especially as it relates to the weight loss, fever and sore throat and the lymph nodes especially the fact that its the occipital and cervical lymph nodes

there is a possibility that there could have been other nodes present because i wasn't aware of all the nodes location, as well i could have sworn there was swollen nodes on my neck slash shoulder and along collarbone

Symptoms or lack of will not tell you anything about your HIV status. The only way to know your stat is by testing.
