Freaking out over possible HIV

I am concerned I have HIV. I have had on average two instances of unprotected sex per week for the past few months. I am on prep, and have usually maintained almost all doses per week, aside from one week where I only had 3, and another where I only had 5. The past few weeks I have often had loose stools and abdominal cramping, but not more than twice per day. Starting Sunday of this week, I have felt under the weather with a mild sore throat, a temperature of usually 98.6 but as high as 99.3, back aches, and mildly sore eyes. I have no swollen lymph nodes, no rash, and no oral thrush. I feel about 85% of normal.

It doesn’t help that I got rejected dried blood sample tests today for HIV/Syphillis due to “uneven saturation”.

Is it possible prep is blunting seroconversion symptoms?

It also doesn’t help my anxiety that alongside this, my blood test lab result was rejected today due to “uneven saturation”.
