Are these hiv symptoms???

Hi, Please excuse the long winded explanation but I thought I should add averthing for proper advice. I am a 36 year old male who engaged in unprotected vaginal sex along with giving unprotected oral and recieving unprotected oral on 2 occasions with the same woman, Shortly after the second encounter, Approximately 2 wks, I woke up one morning feeling very tired and could hardly hold my head up and that went on for a couple days in a row. Along with that I got this wierd kinda rash on the inside of my lower lip, wiggly white lines of skin like I had burned the inside of my mouth although they were not sore, just bumpy. Then approximately 6 weeks after that second encounter I had a 2 day flu with upset stomach and the runs but no vomiting. I also got a patch of folliculitus on my torso under my left breast that would not go away for like 6 weeks even with oral antibiotics and fungal cream given by my Dr! Soon after that appeared I got 2 boils on my back, 2 on my inner thigh and one near my right armpit. After all this I became traumatized! I started getting very anxcious and paranoid so I finally went to an STI clinic exactly 11 wks after last possible exposure and got tested for many things, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Hep B + C, and HIV, All came back negative. Since the first testing I have developed some terrible gastrointestinal problems, Stomach growling uncontrolably and intestines very unsettled with intense bloating and gas, Very loose stool with what looked like tissue and some diarhea, A couple times I had what looked like corn in my stool which I guess can be caused by not digesting food properly. I have had severe acne on my neck and face. I have severly dry skin all over, The skin on my  legs and arms has the elephant skin look {All wrinkles up} when I turn my arm or leg to make my skin stretch. Being very very anxcious and stressed out I went and  re-tested at 23 wks and all tests were negative again! What is this?? This all started appearing after those 2 encounters with that woman, What could possibly cause all these symptoms? Could this still possibly be HIV after a 23 week neg ELISA test??? All these symptoms are scaring the hell outta me!!! Can anyone enlighten me???

geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez...YOU'RE FALLING APART ! ! !

you were never at risk and your tests prove that.  accept your status and work with your doctor to find out what is wrong with you...its NOT hiv related.

If you got tested 3 months after then your good.

You can go get tested if you want again to ease your mind.

Cheers
