herpes/aids

I have had a very sore throat for 5 days. At first they thought it was streph and gave me an antibiotic. Due to high fever, i went to er , they did a test for herpes and called me and said I have it. They prescribed. valacyclovir hcl. I just started taking it today. I  read that this can be common with people who have aids. I have not had unprotected sex deliberately but condom broke. I had a steady girlfriend but broke up one. I am scared to death that I have aids.

Herpes has nothing to do with HIV or AIDS. You can obtain your conclusive test result 3 months post exposure.
