Still worried

I started feeling the following symptoms 4 weeks after exposure.

-Sinus Infection
-lost 10lbs 8 days
-loss of appetite
-blurred vision
-extreme fatigue to the point that I had to go to the emergency room 3 times
-dry skin in scrotum area
-hair loss
-confusion
-rash on chest and back
-itching all over 2 times in 1 day
-back pain
-sore throat
-dry mouth
-return of sinus infection EVEN THOUGH I've been taking 1000mg of
amoxicillin every day for 14 days for a stomach infection
-loss of sex drive
-3 mouth sores
-loose stools for 3 weeks
-1 day of diarrhea
-1 swollen lymph node in groin
-1 painless swollen lymph node in neck
-Muscle spasms

My exposure was oral sex from a female after my room mate and blood
taken at a hospital with a needle that I'm not sure was new or
not.Even though I've been experiencing all of this,you still don't
think that I need to test? Please give me a response,I don't have
anyone else to talk to about this.

this is not a place to come to for every non-HIV related symptom.  Please move on.  You did not have a risk.

Thank you very much for your reply.I've been told that it wasn't a risk but I've been sicker than ever in my 19 years alive.I really believe it's just my anxiety that has me so sick.I will test in 3 weeks just for sake of mind.Thank you.
