Can't take HIV test again but worried sick due to health

I started feeling weak and feverish after about 2 weeks from my oral sex exposure.... which was on 12 Dec 2013...

On 30 Dec 2013 I had around 100+ fever which gone away after taking tylenol in 2 days.

I tested negative on 1st Feb 2014 but till today I am still having that weakness and body temperature up to 99.3 almost everyday...

I got reply from some people that my symptoms are due to anxiety and stress.

Some even say that 99.3 or even 99.5 is not even a fever. But when I have that much temperature I don't feel well and if I take tyelnol even now my body temperature goes down and I feel better but that is just for few hours till medicine has its effect so It can't be due to stress if it is going down by fever medicine.

I went to doctor and done all test to find the cause of fever and weakness but all tests were normal.

So my worries and thoughts are again pointing to what I don't want to think and it really hard to take and wait for 3 months time for test again.

Is there anyone else who felt low grade fever upto 99.4 and weakness without any reason or due to stress.... ?

No work, no smile, no happiness, no aim in life from December 2013 onward, just one worry is occupying my mind 24/7.

I want to live life again please help......

I was told by my doctor (cause I'm a hypochondriac) that the more you worry about it even when you know you aren't sick.. You mentally make yourself sick. You will expirience the symptoms almost as if you were actually sick. Which then triggers health anxiety and that just screws up your life.

Did u receive or give oral?  Receving is no risk and giving maybe very low risk according to the docs in the HIV expert forum.  U can go and read the posts yourself.
