Do I have symptoms of HIV?

I had anal sex 6 weeks and 4 days ago. I was the top. I tested and found out I caught gonorrhea and was treated for it. I now no longer have it but still have ome strange symptoms. I have a rash around the rim of penis and on the head. It kinda itches but not realy. Somewhat severe back pain, frequent unrination, headaches, sharp chest pains, nausea, and my testicles are sore like they were when I had gonorrhea, which I dont have anymore. I got tested again 2 weeks after my initial exposure, whilst also having all these symptoms, STILL NOTHING. All negative.

Eveytime I've been tested I've tested for the following:
HIV/AIDS
Herpes 1-2
Syphilis
Hepatitis B and C
Gonorrhe
Chlamydia

Also took a urinalysis test and everything came back normal on that.

Any idea what this could be?

your symptoms are not indicative of early infection.

two weeks post exposure is too early to tell you anything about your hiv status.  a duo test at 4 weeks or an antibody test at 6 weeks will give you a very good indication of your status.  be sure to follow up at 3 months post exposure for a conclusive result.

Unprotected penetration for 5-10 minutes would require hiv testing. As oyu have tested 6 weeks after the exposure and the results were negative, it is unlikely to change though a 3 month conclusive test is necessary.

Unfortunetly no. I there wasnt very much penetration, barely went past the head of my penis, and it only lasted for like 5-10 mins. at the most. No one ejaculated.

Did you use protection while you had anal sex?
