am i hiv infected

Hi,
i had a minute long unprotected sex with i prostitute in thailand on 11th of june.Immediately after an hour of having sex,i started developing rashes on my skin (hands,legs,shoulders) and they continued for about 3 days
Affter 5 days ( on 16th june ) my friend advised me to take PEP (i know it was too late ).The same day i noticed my tongue was white and had diarrohea. 2 days after taking PEP,i had achy back,fatigue,dizziness (white tongue still there). I went to a doctor and he confirmed it was oral candidasis. he asked me to take several tests (hepatitus B,C,hiv P24 antigen).reports of hepatitus b,c are out and are non-reactive.Also after reading from net  and consulting a doctor,i stopped   PEP medicine (as 5 days are too long to start PEP).dizziness and fatigue are gone ,but i still sometimes develop back aches.Also,one thing that is more worrysome is no matter what time i sleep,i get up at the same time more or less ,with fatigue (3 days after i stopped PEP).sometimes i feel warmth inside my body (head) but the when i check the temperature,it comes out to be normal.i know its too early for anything to be confirmed but the anxiety is killing me.please help.

guys you do not develop symptoms that quickly -  if you develop symptoms at all

and you really should not take pep like that - its a strong drug indeed

12 day test will not be conclusive at all

wait for 6-8 weeks for an idea
then 12 for a conclusive

Hi,

Sorry abhi471 if you think I am taking over your post but I have similiar symptoms as you have posted.
I did a similar stupid act and I have similar sypmtoms.... white tongue, diarrhea.
The next day after (Having unprotected sex with a prostitute for maybe 20 secsonds) I noticed white spots at the back of my mouth. Now about 4weeks later I have completely white tongue. I had a bad case of diahorea about 2 days after the event.

I have been tested and am awaiting results.

Like abhi471 could this be anything but HIV?
