Confused

I have been told I had no risk of HIV for my protected sex with a escort 6 weeks ago.   But on week 4 I had dry mouth and rashes, I blamed stress. Then I developed post nadal drip and mild sore throat, but I wasn't congested or stuffed up my throat just dripped for two weeks in fact it will be 3 weeks on Tuesday.  This is the end of the 6 th week since my incident with the escort and I have. 3 ulcer looking things on way back of my tongue. And my front top gums have little dots they look almost clear. Slightly raised,   I Sam very worried about HIV. At week 4 I tested negative for clymediah gonnorhea and HIV.  Doctor said she had no suspicion of herpes or syphilis so she didn't test me.  Do my mouth problems sound like a std?

this sounds like an upper respiratory infection which are very common even at this time of the year.  sore throats and post nasal drip are signs of non-std related infections.

we recommend protected sex because it works! you don't need to be worried that these symptoms are std related at all.

This isn't HIV and as you've tested negative for other STDs it obviously isn't that either. This is purely and simply stress and anxiety. Unless the condom broke which you'd realise or it came off during sex then you do not have HIV at all. Stress and anxiety is a vicious circle that you need to break by realising you're all clear.
