Your symptoms are unlikely to be due to HIV. 4th gen Combo test is conclusive at 6 weeks after potential exposure. For info: HIV test window periods https://www.cdc.gov/hiv/basics/hiv-testing/test-types.html

This will depend on HIV nature and tests. Discuss with local expert. ALWAYS use protection is my advice.
