Hiv, very high risk?

Hello,
I  am a 22 year old straight mail and believe I may have gotten hiv. 6 weeks ago, I was finger a girl in my car it was dark and didn't realize that she was bleeding. I briefly went down and give her oral(10 secs max) she then gave me unprotected oral sex for 5 mins. I then continued to finger and like on her nipples 15 mins max. As I turned my car on I saw blood everywhere. I immediately lost my mind and knew that this would automatically make it a high risk activity. 2 days later I got a little tingling sensation at the tip of my penis. I also began to have ankle and lower back pain for a few days. The next week I had severe chest and acid reflux symptoms. I was burping  while just drinking water. I have had no appetite and lost weight. I've had slight ear pain, I also had a few nauseous days. This week I've had the most severe joint pain in my life and it seems to be moving around to different parts of my body throught the day. Please let me know what you think because I seriously don't know what to do.  I've been given treatment and tested for gonor/chylam and was negative.

>95% of infections are picked up at the 4-6 week mark with regular antibody tests. That's pretty high numbers.

I understand why you're worried.  Really, I do.  But you've been tested which proves it isn't HIV. I really want you to see a doctor, do that for me. I'd be thrilled. I'm not familiar with Hep, but I know it isn't HIV.  Please, just go see the doc.

Could be anything. Who can tell?
As you were advised, go see a doctor. But what  I can unequivocally tell you is, that it is not HIV. Certainly not from your posted exposure and also not from the symptoms.

Thanks for your advice, but if all of those symptoms came at once would that be hiv related? The migrating joint thing is bothering me because doctors don't know what it is.

I think you're just trying to point everything to HIV.  You do not have HIV.  Feel free to get tested if you like.  But it is going to be negative.
