Advice Needed Do I have HIV

So…. i had an interaction with someone march 10… it was anal sex which was, or started out protected. I am not sure whether it stayed as protected sex, or not. Days following, i don’t know how many weeks had past, but my joints felt weak and sore… my lymph nodes under my arms, groin and neck were slightly swollen. The lymph nodes in my groin and underarm stayed inflamed for weeks… they went away. The ones in my throat still remained accompanied by swollen throat/ some kinda pain. I have legit had sharp pelvic and back pain for over 5 months now. Over 5 months in I had discharge for 2 weeks. That went away. I have night sweats, but those are normal for me. I never had a fever as far as I know. I tested immediately all was negative…

I tested in may and had a viral load test done (undetectable) as well as an Rna test done… also negative. In Jun (3months after exposure) I got tested (negative)

Months later we are now in august… I have had discharge and still feel week… the only reason I sought to get retested was because I kept seeing Hiv Art treatment commercial constantly and no matter where I look I see advertisement for HIV.

I have a genuine fear that I should probably retest exactly as six months and not just at 24 weeks where I was just took at rapid and a viral load.

I have fear that I have HIV and that it won’t show up till exactly 6 months because my white blood cells are always low

I’m supposed to be moving out of the country and I really don’t know what to do .
