Two questions.

1) When did you have unprotected sex?

2) Did you test at least three months after the event?

If you have tested at the three month mark and the test result was negative, then you are HIV negative. End of story.

Symptoms mean nothing and cannot be used to diagnose HIV infection.

Itchy skin is in no way "commonly associated" with HIV.
