should i be worried

on 6/8/11 i had a sexual encounter with a stripper, im not sure if there was penetration or not. IF there was it was literally 5 seconds at most.

6/10/11- i got a blood and urine test (just to be safe)

6/12/11 -  i had burning during urination went to the ER and they swabbed my penis and said i had bacteria in it, they gave me a shot of rosperhin and 10 days of doxy.


6/13/11- i developed thrush, tender neck glands, back pains, and a bad sinus problem.

6/14/11 - first blood and urine test came back negative for everything

6/15/11- the er swab came back negative, was told to keep taking the doxys.

7/8/11 - 30 days after exposure. Rapid test for hiv was negative, all stds(syphilis,gonorrhea,chlamydia, i thought they were testing more but thats all they gave me over the phone) came back negative.

7/21/11 6 week and 1 day after- still have a sore back, and my neck glands are  VERY tender under my ear ( i was told they weren't swollen about a month ago) tendons above my armpit on my right arm are tender as well. Once a day ill have a pain shoot up my leg. Still have some sinus congestion, clear mucus (good sign i think)


wondering should i be worrying about hiv or anything else? ive been told that those symptoms i had in the first week after if in fact were ars symptoms then i would more than likely tested positive 30 days after. I will get tested at the 8 week mark then again at 12 week, maybe 6 months but only if i still having weird symptoms.

any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Im not too worried about HIV, but if not HIV is there anything else that it sounds like?

If you had penetrative sex you would have known. You never had a risk and don't need testing.
