I think i might have got HIV?

Alright, i went out, met this girl, got drunk with her, went to hotel, ate her out cuz i was hammered but i had sex with a condom. 3 days later i wake up, sore throat,stuffy nose and my lips and mouth are all dry. The snot isnt yellow just clear. Keep in mind i wear a Mouth GAURD when i sleep but i didnt clean the mouth gaurd after i wore it for 4 days straight. No glands or lymph nodes swollen anywhere. I have allergies and never took anything really for them. Went to the doctor diagnosied me with sinus infection. I also drew blood to check for HIV but that doesnt do anything becasue HIV need 3 or so months to develop. He gave me this medicine that you take for 5 days. You take 6 pills in 5 days, 2 the first and one every day after. he said they stay in your system for another 5 days after the pills are done to help fight the infection. Now honeslty Im trippin out. I read symptoms about HIV on the net and im scared. I wake up now every mourning now and my mouth is dry and WHITE. All day like it comes and goes and when i think about it i sweat and i have bad breath. I aslo have small little white dots on my upper lip,like 4 there not perfect dots but in the shape of dots. They dont hurt at all, there just there. I also been haveing a post nasal drip for like a year but for the last 4 days ive been taking clartin it has gone away but still there once in a while. Today is sunday sept 11 and tommroow in monday sept 12. That means the medicine should be out of my systme tommorow becasue i started it on sept 2. I aslo was just previously checked for HIV 5 months ago and everything was negative. I just did it to check becasue you see all the commercails about HIV. I dont sleep around. I have a gf and i made a stupid mistake when i went out and had sex with another girl. So i am wondering what is wrong with me? do i have HIV? orrrrr give me some feed back pleaseeee, my hiv test doenst come back for anyother 2 weeks and i cant take it. oh and my body achesss. For the past 6 months ive been trippin about HIV.

I think the guy was concerned and asked the dermo because of the sore in his mouth.  Not suggesting this is an STD forum

the dr. said that there are other reasons for a stuffy nose BESIDES hiv. the dr. didnt imply anything? also, this is a dermatology forum. there is an std forum that this particular question may be best suited for?

Just thought I'd say...you should check out http://www.thebody.com - oh, and before you go analysing your symptoms and posting a question let me tell you the following:

1. You didn't have unprotected sex, so don't worry!

2. Your symptoms are very very asymptomatic of HIV seroconversion from my studies

I'd still go ahead with your 3 month test, just to put your mind at rest, but I'm sure it'll be -ve!

There are lots of things that can give you a sore throat and stuffy nose besides HIV.  I suggest you consider this a virus of some sort and treat it accordingly, as you're doing with your doctor.  You can always get another HIV test in a few months just to reassure yourself.  If you can't deal with your anxiety, you may have to ask your doctor for a sedative, but the chances that you have anything other than a garden-variety illness are pretty slim, to say the least.

Take care.
