Is it possible that I might have an HIV infection

[HIVCRAZY]

Health to me has always been my number one asset, no sickness, no allergies, and especially no HIV! I am a heterosexual man but at times I have had curiosity about the same sex. About three months ago I had my first and last protected sexual experiance with a same sex partner who was substantialy older then myself and even though I did not come into contact with any blood, some precum (very little) did enter my mouth during oral sex. Since then I've shown many early symptoms of what I fear might be HIV, all spread out throughout the 3 month period. Firstly, I noticed small raised red bumps that seemed like pimples that lasted for about 3 weeks. Once I popped them, they quickly dissappeared leaving only a few scars. These pimples became apparent after I had night sweats which only lasted for about a night or two. Then, I noticed one mouth ulcer on the bottom right of my cheek about half a centimeter in length. This dissappeared after about a week and a half with a little help from some canker sore treatment medication. Then came the diarrhea which lasted up until about a week ago, total duration approximately 2 months and 4 weeks. With this diarrhea came a thick white mucous floating on the top of the water. When I noticed this I seeked immediated medical attention. I was recently treated for rectal gonorrhea which I am hoping is the answer to my fears as it is easily treatable and I've been told it can also cause diarrhea. The results of my gonorrhea/chlamydia test haven't came back yet. The treatment I was given was a 1g, 1 time does of azinthromicin and some cipro incase of the presence of Chlamidya which Ive been told are usually present together. Since then my diarrhea has subsided but I have an extremely sore throat with what looks like tonsil stones forming on my left tonsil, and a bit of thick white stuff on the back of my tongue which I got my dad to look at. I was worried about thrush but my dad(a doctor) didnt seem too worried about it especially since im not experiancing any pain on my tongue and there aren't many noticeable swollen lymph nodes in my neck (only two, one on each side).  Is it possible that the symptoms I've had could possibly be the result of an acute HIV infection? Also, do the symptoms of an acute HIV infection all come at the same time or is it possible that they can be spreaded out like it has been in my case?

Any suggestions or answers are appreciated
Thank You

if you use a latex or polyurethane condom properly there is no risk.  none.  teak has stated that there has been no cases of anyone getting hiv while using a latex or polyurethane condom.  and he's not making that up.  take from this site what you will.  and most doc's give antibiotics for bacterial and viral infections is because people want something to take to make them feel better even if its just psychological.  i've seen it i'm in medical school

Unfortunately doctors are prescribing antibiotics these days for everything.  The last time I went to the doctor they gave me antibiotics for a viral upper respiratory infection which is a waste of medication. And given it takes about a week to get your test results and assumption by the doc that you were lying yes they figure it doesn't hurt to give you antibiotics just in case vs. not giving you antibiotics and having you suffer, getting a more serious infection then suing him if you developed complications.

Unprotected oral could have exposed you to an oral infection such as oral gonnorea, chlamidia or herpes  The sores you describe sound like herpes.  Your throat issues could be a bacterial infection or an STD.

You could also have some complications from the anal sex.  You could have a tear, non STD related bacterial infection, allergy to latex etc..

Protected sex provides an 85% effectiveness of HIV from proper condom use.  The folks on the forum state no risk, I would wrather lean on up to date statistics from forum members and the doctors on this site that specialize in this field than studies conducted 10 years ago.  If you are not lying about protected sex your risk of HIV infection is very low.

its the CYA (cover your ***) plan used by most doctors now a days.  and teak is right, the problem is that most people lie and the doctor just wants to be safe.  

[Teak]

He thought you lied and he was being on the safe side.

And sorry Teak I accidently reported your comment but it was unintentional and I appreciate you help!

If I wasnt at risk of contracting gonorrhea and I told my doctor the exact same story as I told you, why would he perscribe the medication if it wasnt needed in the first place?

[Teak]

You didn't contract gonorrhea by condom use.

[HIVCRAZY]

How can I be at risk of contracting gonorrhea but not HIV while using protection?

[Teak]

You were never at risk of contracting HIV and whatever symptoms you are having have nothing to do with ARS or HIV.
