HIV symptoms have me scared and shook!! Help!

Here is my story. On October 3rd, 2008 I had a sexual encounter with another male (I am also male) that I did not know very well. I had protected anal receptive and unprotected oral sex. I asked him his status and he told me he tested negative two months prior. The sex lasted about 20 minutes as I was uncomfortable and I can remember checking two or three times to make sure he still had the condom on. Soon we parted ways and two days later I had a bowel movement. What I saw (sorry I know its gross) in the toilet bowl scared me. There was a large amount of white smelly mucus mixed in with my stool. In the back of my mind I was thinking it was semen, but upon closer inspection it looked and smelled like mucus that sometimes comes out after I have an enema. (I had an enema the night of the sexual encounter). I went on about my week with no problems until about a week after (October 10th) when I had very painful diarrhea. My anus/rectum seemed to be inflamed and HURT. After bowel movements I was still in pain back there for two days. Finally the pain ceased. I was too embarrassed or scared to goto the ER. A day or so later my bowel movements were not only painful when passing but now had a dark red/mucus coated to them and a foul smell. I became very constipated and had to really do some pushing to have a bowel movement. I thought I must have caught Gonorrhea or Chalmydia from him rimming me and so I took a 5 day Z-pack of antibiotics. I stopped the antibiotics because they were causing me to have extreme diarrhea and hives after day 4. Benadryl cured that. Around this time I got a really bad sinus cold and was very fatigued and constipated. I was in bed for about a week and finally felt a bit better. My bowel movements continued to have this coated/foul smell. At three weeks and two days I had an anonymous HIV test (oral swab) and I got the results a few days later (Negative). Around this time I noticed along with the constipation my stomach was throbbing and my lower abdomen had a feeling of pressure that wouldn't go away. A couple of days later this dull numbness and pressure made its way down to my right testicle. By this time I was completely freaked and went to the ER. They ran blood tests, urine test, CT scan of my abdomen, and an ultrasound of my testicles. They tested my urine for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia (Negative). They wouldn't give me an HIV test because I was being sent home. I was sent home with Vicodin for pain and told to make an appointment with my physician. The ER doctor asked me if it was possible I had an STD and I told him yes. He assured me I was tested for everything "major" that could kill me and my bloodwork was "super. I went home with major diarrhea for three days (due to the dye that was given to me for the CT scan according the the ER doctor) and began searching on the Internet and this really got me depressed. The numbness/pressure in my lower abdomen along with the throbbing ceased, but my testicles continued to be dull and had pressure. The diarrhea ceased after 3 days like the Dr. said it would. This dull pain in my testicles would discontinue when I would lay down, but anytime I stood for a bit or sat for a while it would persist. During this time I began to notice my throat felt strange. My esophagus and soft palate began to feel weird and I could feel small bumps. I can't explain it. Upon inspection with a flashlight in the mirror I noticed my uvula had a red spot on it and my circumvallate papillae were swollen and my tongue was tender (this is all in the back of my throat). My throat felt tight like someone was choking me. I freaked out again and went to the ER. They ran my blood and did a throat culture for mono along with an X-ray of my throat. It came back negative and I was again sent home with anxiety medicine. The told me I was having a panic attack. The swelling in my throat made me feel horrible and I was sent home from work because I was feeling so bad. I decided to goto a Medical Express center down the street from my job. There I saw a Doctor who informed me that I had a sinus infection. I asked him if he was sure because of the bumps in my throat. He said he was and informed me I had swollen lymph nodes under my chin. He sent me on my way with 10 days of 1500mg per day Amoxycillin and diagnosed me with Acute Sinusitis. By this time I was convinced I have HIV. So at week 5 post-exposure I went and had another HIV test (oral swab). A week later I got my results (Negative). Two days later my appointment with my PCP came around. I told her my entire story and she looked into my throat and said I definitely had something going on. I told her I was having continuous mucus in my stool with a foul odor, swelling in throat (but no sore throat), bumps on my tongue, and a frequent urge to urinate but feeling as if I still had to go. She ordered a bunch of tests including an hiv test, stool test, and urine test. I found out that day that I didn't have a bladder infection, but I would have to wait two weeks for my results. I have about a week and a half before I get results from these tests and I am full of anxiety. I can't stay off the Internet diagnosing myself. My glands in my throat are still swollen but not tender. Even after the 10 day course of antibiotics. I noticed yesterday I have what looks to be an open sore on the side of my tongue and the texture of the soft tissue in my mouth has changed (it feels rough). My testicles still have a dull pain and when I lay down to sleep now I get pain in my groin that is so bad I can't sleep without pain medication. The lymph nodes there don't feel swollen. I woke up this morning with smelly diarrhea. My nerves are shot because all of these Doctors pretty much make it seem as if these symptoms are all in my head. I was a very health person before this. I had a conclusive negative hiv test before this drama so I'm sure I was hiv negative before this happened. PLEASE help me. Is this HIV, HERPES, SYPHILLIS, STAPH?
