I'm really anxious because I had unprotected sex with a woman, and now I'm at 82 days. I've been planning to get an HIV test after 90 days. Lately, I've had a dry cough for about two months. Could this be a symptom of HIV or am I just overthinking it? Can you help me understand this better?

I've been dealing with a lymph node infection for a year, and at first, I thought it was just heat pimples. I had to get the wound cleaned out with an injection, hydrogen peroxide solution, and hydroheal ointment for open wounds. Currently, I'm on antibiotics and painkillers. I'm really worried about this not getting better. Is there anything else I should be doing or looking out for?
