Immune problems

I HAD AND EXPERINCE WITH FEMALE OUTSIDE OF MY MARIAGE. 1 EPISODE OF ME RECEIVING UNPROTECTED ORAL SEX FOLLOWED BY CONDOM PROTECTED SEX.  I HAD BEEN DRINKING.
  I CONSIDER THIS HIGHER RISK CONSIDERING THE FEMALE WAS VERY WILLING AND WAS PREPARED WITH A CONDOM.  
  LOOKING BACK I REMEMBER GETTING FLU LIKE SYMPTOMS A MONTH OR SO.   9 MONTHS LATER  I BEGAN TO HAVE STOMACH PROBLEMS, DIARREAH HEART BURN AND SUCH.   A FEW MONTHS LATER I BENGAN HAVING BOILS APPEAR NEAR MY ARM PITS AND THIGHS. I HAD SOME EPISODES OF ITCHY SKIN AND HIVES. I WOULD ALSO GET SOME SPONTANEOUS LIP AND EYELID SWELLING.
I BEGAN TO READ ABOUT THIS ON THE NET AND ALOT OF THESE SYMPTOMS CORRELATED WITH HIV.
I BECAME TERRIFIED.
I HAD HIV TESTING 5 TIMES AND ALL NEGATIVE OVER THE COURSE OF  3 YRS FOLLOWING.  
LAB WORK HAS BEEN DONE FOR STD AND ALL NEGATIVE EXCEPT FOR EXPOSURE TO HERPES VIRUS.
DR. SAID I HAD JUST BEEN EXPOSED AT SOME POINT BUT DIDNT APPEAR TO HAVE HEREPES.
  I STILL OBCESS OF HIV BECAUSE I STILL HAVE CHRONIC ITCHY SKIN AND SOME SMALL RECURRING SKIN RASHES AND ON GOING YELLOW STOOL AND WHITE COATED TONGUE.  MY DR THINKS IM OK OTHER THAN GALLBLADDER.
MY GALL BLADDER WAS CHECKED AND ONLY 14 PERCENT FUNCTIONING.  
I JUST FEEL THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON..
CAN ANYONE HELP
CAN I FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT NOT HAVING HIV AFTER 5 TIMES. NEG TESTS

I asked the doctor to run Hepatitis panels twice and they came back negative.
What do you mean by skin biopsies?  What can that tell?
Do you think a dermatoligist will the right doctor to take me serious?

Hello,

As you have got yourself checked for HIV so many times and that too in a period of 5 years,it does not sound like HIV.It sounds like a liver disease as your gall bladder is already functioning at such a low level.I would suggest that you get it evaluated from a dermatologist and get your liver functions evaluated and skin biopsy done.

Hope it helps.Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries.Warm regards.
