This forum is limited to prevention of HIV and to safe sex in general. If you believe you might have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or the risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you.
IMPORTANT
No questions will be accepted on the treatment of HIV/AIDS or its complications, viral load, and similar topics. If you have questions about a specific STD other than HIV/AIDS, please visit the STD Forum. Questions that do not pertain to the above topics will be removed from the forum.
If you have not done so, please review other threads in our archives for questions similar to yours and Dr. Handsfield's replies. Questions that duplicate other frequent ones, for which abundant replies exist, and that have little educational value for other forum users, will be DELETED WITHOUT RESPONSE. YOUR PAYMENT WILL NOT BE REFUNDED. The most common examples of such questions are those about low risk exposures to HIV, such as oral sex, condom- protected intercourse hand-to-genital exposure, and nonsexual contact with possibly infected blood or body fluids as well as symptoms of early HIV infection.

ALL FORUM USERS, PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE! ONLY 3 NEW QUESTIONS CAN BE ACCEPTED ON THIS FORUM EVERY 24 HOURS, SO UNNECESSARY ONES ALWAYS BLOCK OTHERS WITH NEW QUESTIONS. EVEN IF DELETED AFTER POSTING, THE LIMIT APPLIES. Your use of a new thread to post additional information, which I deleted, was inappropriate.
Yes you are acting quite paranoid. The likelihood of infection was low. Any infection you could have acquired would have been treated by the drugs you have had, and not one of your symptoms hints at any STD. The antibiotics did not affect the HIV test results.
Your doctor is absolutely right. Your only problem is your anxiety over your infidelity, and it is responsible for all your symptoms. If they persist, you need mental health counseling, not further antibiotics or testing.
