Alittle Bit Worried? Please help...Thanks.

Yes i had unprotected sex about 18 days ago and 2 days later a couple small red spots appeared on the head of my penis and i wasnt feeling good, i went to the doctor right away the next day cause my testicles were red and swollen and they itched really bad and i had pain in my sides and lower back. The doctor said it was nothing and to use cortaid to help the redness and he gave me cipro and another anti-bacterial drug to take, the next day the swelling was gone, but my testicles were still red and itchy and then my anus area started to itch and turned red in between the crack, that went away the next day, then i got a really bad burning in my throat for like 2 days and felt really weird and tired. dunno if i had a fever or not. But i still itched, well then i got this weird pinkish rash on my leg that appeared in the same spot on each leg but it wasnt wide spread at all, very blotchy, pink and my hair folocules looked red, i really got scared, but then a few days later it was gone. So a few days later im thinking everything is going good, well i masturbate and the head of my penis has a rash on it and small little bumps appeared. I went back to the doctor 3 days ago to get checked out, the rash on my legs was just about gone and so was the rash on the head of my penis, well he gave me an HIV test and syphillis test to ease my mind saying i didnt have anything, well the test came back Negative today for both, but they said i have to come back in in 6 months for another HIV test. Well im going back in a month to get another one to be safe, The rashes on my legs appeared the same day after the doctor cause i was stressing out so bad and got scared, they are no longer visible today after using cortaid....... I have anxiety attacks and high levels of stress, i was throwing up and had diarea for a week cause of anxiety, so i know those signs are not from my immune system breaking down or whatever.

So my question is do you think i have HIV or what? Im kind of scared, i feel totally fine after 18 days and all my symptoms occoured 5 days after my encounter, but i still got this funk on my penis alittle bit and on the legs in the same spot that comes and goes. Hopefully it all goes away and at 6 weeks i test negative.

Thanks

Ya that is what i plan on doing and i will be alot more safe next time.......I am also kind of worried, i have never looked at my hands until now and they seem to be very red and blotchy rash looking under the palms, but when i raise them in the air the blood flows away and they look totally fine?? Could this be purpula palm so early on( No icthing, tingling etc....) if there is its all in my head cause when i dont think about i forget about my hands or is this just bad blood flow to my hands that i never cared to look for before i had this happen to me? Im am just trying to get relief here until 6 weeks are here, sorry for being annoying.

Thanks.

Dont worry about it, theres always the notorious promiscious girl in every click, that doesnt mean she has HIV. Colds are so common, nothing to worry about. The BS online is all so overhyped its ridiculous and you cant breally listen to much of it. All the hypochiondriacs hang out on the net and spread their fears.

Just go ahead and test at the right times and from now on wear a rubber that way no more scares.

Thanks alot, i really appreciate it......Im pretty sure i dont have it, but im just stressing out so bad, i dont know what to do, haha. Im pretty sure she doesnt have it cause 2 of my friends have been with her, one even dated her for 6 months and they broke up in December of 2007 and she had been sleeping with one of my good friends on and off after that for a few months just up until last month, i dont know who else she has been with though??? She is notorious for sleeping around......I think alot of this **** is in my head, i did just get over a cold though that i got last week which worried me, but my cough was not dry and i was spitting up bile from my chest and my nose was really runny and going in my throat causing me to have a scratchy throat for a few days...Im never checking for symptoms online ever again, and this has also given me the scare of my life.

I doubt highly you have HIV. Heres why.

1. Those symptoms of whatever you have came on way too early to be early HIV signs.
2. Those symptoms arent even the type that come with early HIV infection.
3. Symptoms are never a reliable indicator of HIV infection.
4. Only one third of one percent of the population has HIV, so your chances of being with someone that is infected is pretty damn low.
5. Even if you did sleep one time with an infected person, the chance for an actual transmission is low but depends on the type of sex it was ie... vaginal insertive, vaginal receptive, anal receptive, anal insertive.

Anyway go back at 6 weeks for anopther test to calm the anxiety then at 12 weeks for a final test. There is no need to test out to 6 months, that is old stuff.
