Brief Answer:
Please don't worry, there is no risk to get HIV infection.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Based on your history of having protected sexual intercourse, you shouldn't worry because there is no risk to get HIV infection.
According your symptoms I think that this is just a viral situation.
You should know that a negative HIV test 3 months after exposure is very accurate and conclusive. You are free of HIV. In your case, an HIV test was not necessary.
I hope my answer helps you.
