Worried

Hi,
I have been reading the threads for days and I am very concerned about an incident 10 weeks ago. I had unprotected oral sex (she gave me) and protected vaginal intercourse for about 2 mins with a CSW before I stopped it. I know that there is very little chance of getting HIV from oral sex but was wondering if I took the condom off correctly (cant remember how I took it off)
I have had a lot of symptoms:

1) within a few days I got very tired and had muscle pain (still have slight muscle pain now)
2) I got Thrush after about 2 weeks and took medication and it went away but came back after about 8 weeks and I still have it and I am still taking medication now.
3) I got a sore throat about 1 week ago and doctor has given me antibiotics (penicillin) but I still have the sore throat
4) I now have swollen lymph nodes in the neck and underarms
5) not sure but think I might have a rash on body but it is very faint

I have been tested at 2 weeks and 7 weeks and they both came back negative. I know I have to wait and get tested at 12 weeks but I just want to know if it is possible to have all of there symptoms and still be HIV negative.

I am so worried I cant think about anything else and how stupid I was.

Thanks

Thanks Morty. The anxiety is driving me crazy. I know the everyone is saying I had no risk but no risk would have been going to bed early that night on my own!

Again thanks to everyone here that has helped me feel a little better while waiting for the 3 months.

ANA test results don't mean anything for you in this case.  You never had an exposure to HIV, so the result you get tomorrow will be negative for HIV.

Hi now I am really worried. I have just had my ANA tested and has come back positive for 1/160. I have googled this and on some sites it says that a positive ANA could mean a positive HIV. I have just gone for a HIV test that is due back tomorrow (11 weeks and 3 days since the incident) but now I am so scared. Does any one know if a positive ANA test could mean HIV?

They don't have anything to do with HIV that we know, because you never had an exposure. .
