Hiv/Mono/Thrush?

Ok bear with me as this might be long.. I got sick the end of september and went to the doctor and was put on antibiodics for bacterial infections. I had unprotected sex with my boyfriend a few weeks after that. Then 2 weeks later I was still feeling sick and went back to the doctor. I was given antibiodics again for another bacterial infection and was also told I have mono with a monospot test. This was about a month ago (4 weeks) and I am still feeling sick with mono, as in fatigued, minor sore throat, feel feverish, the glands in my neck are still enlarged. I also went back to the doctor about a week later and was put on more medicine for BV. I've noticed starting yesterday that I have a whitish coated tongue. I'm not really sure if its thrush though. But my concern is if all this is a sign of HIV or if everything is just a result of mono. I have also been incredibly stressed and anxious and haven't been getting adequate rest for my mono if that has anything to do with all this. And I'm just so worried about this and I won't be able to get the 3 month HIV test for another 2 months or so, as its only been about 5 or 6 weeks since the unprotected sex. Would it even be worth it to get tested at 5 weeks? And I'm not even sure if what I have is oral thrush, but if it is can that be a sign of HIV after 5-6 weeks? I was on antibiodics for a total of 3.5 weeks, but have been off all of it for over a week, so could that even cause thrush if its been that long since I've been off any antibiodics. Because I've heard that usually only happens when you're still on the antibiodics. I'm just really nervous about all this. And when I went and got diagnosed with BV, I was scared because the doctor told me it looked like I could have a lesion that could possibly be from HPV, so I was scared to death that I had HPV, but finally got the results of the pap and it said everything came back negative, no abnormal cells or even anything indicating HPV or a lesion. But after that scare and having all these other signs that are similar to HIV I am very scared once again that I might have HIV now.

As you say, it's probably the antibiotics or the mono. Both a million times more likely to be causing thrush than HIV. And that's if it's even thrush, which it may not be.

Hi,

I had protected sex with a commercial sex work in New York 5 weeks back, when she undressed I did nt like her Vaginal Hygeine, tried to insert penis for 2-3 mins, didnt like it. I pulled it out, and she give me a hand job wid condom, i could clearly see my fluids inside condom. 2 days later i had felt UTI infection, which was gone in 2 days, then fatigue started to take over wid other symptoms of HIV, like sore throat body and muscle aches, lack of appetite, thrush and all that. I m done wid first HIV test after 4 weeks it was NEG.
