what test do I need next


I am a 40 year old male in USA,I got possible exposure unprotected  vaginal with CSW (Broken condom).Afetr 3-4 weeks I started getting diarrea,white spots on the tongue,pimples that leave brown scars behind  sore throat,painful behind knees,elbows and armpits,rash on the hand.Symptoms stay for 3-4 weeks then disappear and came back except sore throat again after 2 months.it happened 3-4 times.My exposure was in march 2010.I tested for all stds 3 months after the exposure all neg.Again tested for HIV antibody test 7 months after exposure  and was neg.I got same symptoms back again and now I am scared to test again.Can you please tell me what else that can be.EBV shows symptoms like that or It still can be HIV?
Itested for hepatatitis a b c 8 weeks after exposure all negative,RPR was negative at 8 weeks.But because I have above mentioned symptoms I tested for RPR  again and came back POSITIVE  twice within 1 month but confirmatory is negative.Why my RPR is coming positive and I am having those symptoms,Please advise.

Talk with Dr on RPR being positive, but you do not have syphilis based on confirmation tests and negative 8 week test.

You do not have a STD or HIV based on testing.

I would suggest you posting the RPR question in Ask the Doc forums (on STDs), but I am sure it may have been a false positive. Also, testing for HIV at three months, let alone 7 months after the incident and being negative is 100% reliable that you absolutely did NOT acquire HIV from this incident. Go to the HIV prevention community forum on this site for reassurance and support.  One cannot base any of the symptoms you described to any particular condition or infection. Best of luck to you but I am confident you are fine.
