Should I be nervous?

Doctor I think I might of had a possible exposure here are my risks please evaluate. I'm a gay male.
1. Guy I met at a bar: Mutual masturbations, with semen from partner landing on my shaft.
2. Guy I met at a bar, I've Received oral sex without condom
3. 1st New Boyfriend, I was Top for anal sex, I used condom and lubricant, condom remained on and did not break. and he performed oral sex on me. I did not.
4. 2nd New boyfriend, Received oral sex, and performed anal multiple times on him with condom and lubricant. Condom remained on and did not break.
All these guys have claimed to be HIV-. However, on April 9th I was diagnosed with Gonorrhea. And the Symptoms started on march the 23rd, but I didn't see a doctor till the 9th. How could of this had happened??? I used condoms all the time, and never performed oral on anyone. My Gonorrhea was diagnosed in my penis, and my doctor told me I've might of cought it from receiving oral sex... Can this be true, Does this means I've also been exposed to HIV?  I was re-tested for HIV with the Oraquick on the 19th of may and my results came back negative. This test was perform at about 6-8 weeks after the time I think I might of had the symptoms for gonorrhea. Should I be worried about HIV?? I remember reading that I've I've had gonorrhea it was more likely that I had caught HIV as well.. Is this true? And can I rely on my 6-8 week negative from my exposure??

Straight to your questions.

1.  Masturbation.  Your exposure is zero risk.  Masturbation is within the realm of safe sex.  No risk to you for acquisition of HIV or any other STD.  Please realize that in the course of masturbation miniscule amounts of genital secretions are inadvertently shared between partners, nonetheless there are no HIV transmissions which have occurred in this way.
2.  Very, very low risk.  The risk of HIV from oral sex is less than 1 in 10,000.  Although there are a few case reports of persons acquiring HIV from oral sex, these are the "exceptions that prove the rule".  
3.  Condom protected anal sex is safe sex.  See 2 above for oral sex.
4.   Same as 3 above.
5.  Your doctor is right.  You can get gonorrhea from oral sex.
6.  At six weeks over 95% of HIV infections that are acquired will give positive tests so the odds are very good that you did not get HIV. Furthermore all of your partners said they were HIV negative and thus they probably were.  A follow-up at 12  weeks to take care of the last  5% would be a good idea but I bet it will be negative.

Finally, and even though you didn't ask, your post has me worried.  you've had lots of partners over a very short period of time.  Please take precautions as you have been doing- ask your partners about their HIV status, including when they were last tested and use condoms.  We want you to stay safe.  EWH
