Could I get some help with ars/thrush?
Hello everyone,
On new years night of this year I got completely way too intoxicated and had unprotected sex with a friend who says she is positive she has no STD's. She got tested before she went to college and was clean but we had sex after she had been at college for a semester. I was inside her for about 10 seconds before I realized either way it was stupid. I was fine until feb.12 I noticed tears in the skin in between my scrotum and thigh. I got a headache too no fever. So initially I thought herpes. I went to my doctor he said that it looked more like jock itch. I got some lotrimin and that cleared up. No problems until about the third week in march, I got a sore throat. My little brother had a regime of azithromycin that he never used so I took that. It cleared my sore throat for about a week but then it came back I went to see the doctor who said it was most likely from my sinus' because I have chronic sinusitis, or strep, but he didnt take a strep test because it would come back negative because of the previous antibiotics. So he put me on Augmentin 875mg. I started that on march 29th. About a week into taking that I noticed problems with my tongue. I searched online for what this was and I found thrush, I found that some patients with hiv experience this. Scared I called my doctor, yet he told me that it is a side effect that is common with the high dose of augmentin I recieved. I finished the augmentin and I have no sore throat just thrush I recently started an anti fungal for it though. So I have some questions.
1.When someone contracts HIV are symptoms spread out like this?
2. Is 6 weeks too late to have symptoms of ARS?
3. Do you think that the thrush is medication related or HIV related, would it show up after 3 months?
Any help would be awesome thank you!

"I was inside her for about 10 seconds before I realized either way it was stupid." the brevity of your exposure reduces the risk of acquisition, however, a risk is a risk. Test 3 months post exposure for a conclusive result.
No one should attempt to diagnose HIV/AIDS from symptoms. There are no real set symptoms as HIV attacks the immune system.
