Hi,
Welcome to HCM
If your Rapid and ELISA were negative after 3 months of your risky contact then these symptoms are not at all related to HIV. These results are conclusive after 3 months unless you are on some immunosuppressive drugs which may likely to hinder the antibody production and the reliability of these tests. Otherwise they were conclusive.
There are many other reasons for lymph node swelling and pain in neck for which we have to investigate. Just forget the possibility of HIV.
Get well soon.
