Yes to be certain: if you were protected that the chances of transmission should be very low. If you want to be absolutely positive you should repeat it in 3-6 months. I really cannot say about the headaches, feeling disoriented and sweating. i do not know your history. i would advise you to see your doctor

Test is 95% reliable: at 4 weeks, but due to the fact that some people may have delayed antibody response, to get 99+% accuracy, a repeat test should be done at 12 weeks. Headaches, disorientation and sweating would NOT be due to HIV at this stage, so you need to find a different reason. Anxiety may be one of them.
