About 50%: About half of newly infected people would have positive results at 13 days. However, your sore throat is not due to HIV: it isn't possible to have HIV symptoms with a negative test. And it sounds like you had a very low risk exposure: when a woman has HIV, vaginal sex with no condom has an average risk for her male partner somewhere around once for every 2,000 exposures.
