It is unusual for HIV seroconversion to occur at 2 weeks, and we never say never.
Remember too that the 4th generation testing is better from day 21 onwards. You could have a false negative at your current day 14. For diagnosis at day 14, you may have to do a HIV proviral testing. This test is different from the regular HIV viral load PCR testing and maybe hard to find in your home country.
Let us know how you come along. We are here to support you.

Rather the repeated testing suggest that you may have anxiety. You may wish to address that with a counsellor.
Next. Sore throat, white tongue and swollen lymph node may be a viral infection or somatic manifestations of your anxiety. A consultation with your doctor would help you discern that better.
Lastly.. avoid HIV exposure. Take precautions and be in a monogamous relationship. The stress of an unwanted sexually transmitted disease, especially a highly stigmatized disease like HIV, is unnecessary, and a nuisance.
