HIV concerns

Last year july I had unprotected sex. My then partner assured me that he had multiple check ups and did not have any infections. A month later during the hay fever season I felt really sick. I had a terrible cough, horrible headahe and felt extremely weak. I though it was hayfever and did not see my doctor about it, I recovered a week later. A month later I noticed something that looked like an insect bite on the inside of my thigh but it turned out to be a boil it burst and cleared up by itself. Around september I got 2 more boils. I went to see my doctor about it and he suggested it was due to hormonal changes because i also suffered from acne before. I got my urine sample tested and nothing was found. I got antibiotics and have not had any boils since. Around december I got tested for clamydia (chlamydia), that test was also for other infections such as gonoreah and it came back negative. Now I have chickenpox for about 5 days for the second time. I saw my doctor and he said I have mild chickenpox and that it is normal to aquire it the second time because some people do not become completely immune to it the first time. My brother got it for a second time aswel a year ago. I am scared because does this not mean my immune system has weakend and I have a possible HIV infection? I am very scared to get tested, do my symptoms sound like HIV can an HIV rash be mistaken for chickenpox?

If you had unprotected vaginal or anal sex you can test 3 months post exposure and your test will be conclusive. Symptoms will never tell you anything about your status only an HIV test will.
