worried about HIV

I am 27 year old male that had unprotected sex with another male (both giving and taking).  It did not last very long in either position and neither of us ejaculated in each other.  This was about 7 weeks ago.  I was tested at 4 weeks and it came back negative, I am unsure of his status.  

About 5-6 weeks ago, I was having pains in my groin (inguinal area).  They were sharp, but rare.  I was also experiencing some pain around where I would think my bladder would be.  

I went to the doctor and was tested for a UTI, which came back negative.  They put me on 7 days of anti-biotics.  The bladder region pain is gone, but the groin pain persists.  It is on both sides, or it will be on one side at one time and the other side at others.  I don't believe my inguinal lymph nodes are swollen, but I don't know how to tell.  It is quite annoying.  I have had dull aches in my testicles.  Also, I have occassional diarrhea.  

I am planning on getting tested again, but they are not testing again until next monday.  What do you think?  Am I being nervous for nothing?

hi,
there's risk, because anal receptive it's at very risk without condom.
But your test at one month it's very good.
Now get test at 6 weeks and later at 12 weeks(3 months).

For the sympthoms, can't be ARS, because the ars start always with fever.

Good luck and use the condom.

I add:
Without ejaculation the risk it's more little, if you or your partners haven't blood or lacerations.

But for me you need test.
Later your negative test buy condoms ;)

Get your 13 week test and start using condoms and plenty of water base lube.
