Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
None of your symptoms starting from sore throat, fever, diarrhea to swollen lymph nodes, are specific to HIV alone. Anybody can have these symptoms at anytime even in the absence of HIV. A change of an appropriate antibiotics can cure the same. If you had oral sex, clear the possibilities of STD causes for sore throat by ruling out Gonorrhea, Syphilis and Chlamydia with blood and culture tests.
Regarding the possibility HIV, Your negative P 24 antigen test, Combaids, ELISA ruled out the possibility of HIV 1 infection beyond any doubt. As the antigen test can not rule out HIV 2 and as the window period for antibody test had not been crossed, the less than 1% possibility of HIV 2 infection is yet to be ruled out after 12 weeks by another ELISA or any other rapid test.
Wish you a speedy recovery
