The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.

HIV enters through the HEAD of your penis - the condom did not rip or tear - you would have absolutely noticed. You had no risk for HIV. You should not use 2 condoms - that increases the friction, and the chance that the condoms will break. One condom is sufficient to protect you from HIV.

You didn't need even ONE test, and you certainly didn't need 6 tests. Any test you take at any time will be conclusive, and negative, since you were never exposed to HIV.  The rest of your questions are not relevant since you had zero risk for HIV.

Work with your doctor to find the non-HIV related cause of any medical symptoms.

You had no risk.
A few night sweats are just from your fear, since you mistakenly thought you got hiv.
I'm taking those medicines,, flupenthixol, alprazolam for anxiety,, and those study say flupenthixol inhibit hiv replication, if it inhibit hiv replication like pep ,, then effect on testing accuracy,,?? Am takeing those medicines at low doseg (0.5mg) but in the study say upto 2 mg /L flupenthixol has no activity,, but  2mg/ L they say in the study ,, and other hand dr hunter hands field say many forums that no medicine effect hiv test and window other than pep ,, I'm totally confused....
Your questions do not pertain to your situation. Since you were not at risk for HIV, there is no replication of any virus that could be inhibited and there is no window period. As stated, you do not have HIV, and any medical issues you experience are not related to HIV.

NO ONE on Earth needs that many HIV tests. What risk did you have that made you freak out and take way too many tests?

You have misread and misinterpreted the study you posted. It has nothing to do with testing accuracy.
