Fungal infections first sign of HIV ?

Im worried Sick I put self at risk on January 8th two weeks later I have fungal infections all around my groin!!

I have tried daktarin cream for a week no response plus been on fluconzole tablets for 2 weeks not responding, fungal infection still there!!! I went to the clinic they gave me Canesten HC thats doing little as well!!
Had hiv test after 3 weeks came back negative.

Could this be HIV?

If it is HIV is there special treatment for people with HIV  who have fungal infections?

Can only be two things I dont have diabeties so has to be HIV

You have no knowledge of fungal infections.  Fungal infections simply HAPPEN, they do not have to be (and mostly ARE not) indicative of a medical condition...

They occur completely on their own.

You don't have HIV.....but if you would like to continue to think so....have at it.  Seems silly to me.
