Every Symptom

I will try and keep this short although there is so much to list. About 11 weeks ago I had made the mistake of giving insertive anal sex. It started with a condom but I think it slipped off by the end (unknown HIV statues) and this is where it all began.

1 week-later I had extreme dry throat
2 weeks-later felt the first lymph node on my neck swollen, right side only. Very small blemish appeared on right side face near my ear.
3 weeks-extreme tingling left foot only, few days later started to have flu like feeling (no vomiting at all) with extreme migraine headaches and back aches and fatigue that lasted about 5 days.
4 weeks-sunburn like rash with blistering on trunk, back, and face. 2 sores appeared on both sides of cheeks starting from inside my mouth and protruding to outside of face. Thought they were canker sores at first because they started in my mouth but they may have been boils since they were pus filled (like a pimple). White little bumps on lower lip and back of throat at the same time. I could never register a fever though even though my trunk felt hot (head didn't). Usually I was below average body temp (97.9F). Oh Yeah...every node in my body swelled and hurt (even nodes I didn't know about.
Tested negative ELSIA blood test at 4 weeks
5 weeks- tonsils got red, white patches on inner cheek not thrush (I do smoke though). Thrush like substance on back of tongue with swollen papillae. Dry and cracked lips (both corners of mouth)
6 weeks- mouth the same, rash is gone other than a few little spots (like pimples size) on stomach. Tongue getting whiter and thicker though.
Tested negative ELSIA blood test at 6 weeks
7 weeks- I feel fine other than thrush and white spots (more of a line where teeth meet) in mouth on cheeks and where wisdom teeth used to be. Papillae still swollen.
Tested negative ELSIA blood test at 7 weeks
8 weeks- tongue getting whiter and thicker mainly in back. (developing marks on tongue where I seem to be biting it). Side of tongue look clear other than some some thinks that look like they may be appearing along lateral vein of tongue..doesn't look like hairy leukoplakia (yet). Dry throat and mouth came back. Throat hurting a little this week and looks raw.
Tested negative ELSIA Oral test 8 weeks
9 weeks- feel fine other than mouth problems still there.
Tested negative ELSIA blood test 9 weeks
Same as 9th week..although white bumps on lower lips seem to be clearing up (not soft palate though). Papillae still swollen and thrush (or thick white stuff) only seems to be present near back of throat. I node in neck still swollen (right side, was the first to swell)
Tested negative ELSIA blood HIV 1 and 2 at 10 weeks and 2 days.

I have not been on any medication either. I am 30 and rather healthy other than smoking (used to drink alot though) and perhaps to much fast food.

Any advise?

Why are they doing a EBV test, when you had a negative mono spot? That doesn't make sense at all. You're HIV negative and you need to move on. If you cannot accept your negative result, I suggest you seek professional mental help to deal with your issues.

I have but he doesn't seem to know much. He is telling me 1 year for accurate HIV results and that scares me. Mono spot was NEG today and I am having them do an EBV test now. THE RASH MAN, THE RASH.

When I go to wrongdiagnosis.com and put "one tingling foot" symptom guess what comes up!!! HIV/AIDS.

Where are my HIV antibodies!!!!!

GF has muscle aches and extreme headaches as well as a red face. She doesn't have anxiety about this because she doesn't know. So something is going on. Got my 11 week 2 day NEG. This is crazy!!!! The sunburn rash is the thing that worried me the most.

A lot of if not all your symptoms are in line with anxiety as well.

The odds are also stacking in your favour with a 10 week 2days negative. Only 1 week 5 days left in which you could possibly go positive from the date of that test.
