Worried sick!!!! Please respond

On Nov 6th I had unprotected sex for about a minute along with oral sex. In Dec I started to feel weird.
Week 4 ear infection, week 5 headaches and a little upset stomach, week 6 upper back pain with a burning numbness and tingling and down my arms, week 7 a canker sores, week 8 anxiety kicks in I'm freaking out googling symptoms which all lead to hiv!! The pain started getting worse and spread throughout my body(knees, feet, thighs, lower back, buttocks). I've also been having stomach discomfort mainly at bedtime. As of today week 9 I still have achy muscles in my thigh upper back and arms and shoulders. I've had a cbc done everything normal except my lymphocytes were low. My doctor stressed it was not a concern. I had x-rays and CT scans done along with an emg and all were normal. I'm super scared can someone tell me something please. I'm in pain and week.

No I haven't gotten a specific hiv test. I am too afraid. Thank you I'm praying it's just something minor and my anxiety and me googling everything. Eventually I will test.

Reread your headline until it sinks in that you are living each day in needless terror. Each day crawls slowly to a close only for another bad one to begin.
There was no purpose in posting here, because you were hoping in vain for some miracle diagnostic answer to appear.

Have you gone for a test?

Take a 4th generation test right now for conclusive results and if you get a negative result you can forget this matter forever.

Your symptoms are likely a combination of flu and fear induced making you sweat and over-analyze your body, so NOTHING is pointing toward you having HIV - just your self-diagnosed guesses which are of zero value.
