hiv worry

To: anybody that can enlighten me
i done a stupid thing and had unprotected sex 7 months ago, this was both vaginal and oral.  Approx 3 months later i woke with a sore throat and the following day after that i woke to find my penis covered in red spots and looking a little rashy. To this day my throat does not hurt but it looks rather inflammed and veiny, i can also be coughing throughout the day!  

1. about a month ago further things started developing as i feel shakey and my hands are shaking- this comes and goes throughout the day. I feel fine when i waken in the mornings but about an hour after i've woken it starts

2. my mind feels a little blurry as if i don't know whats going on round me at times

3. i was getting pins and needles in my feet when stationary or driving and this has now moved to a tingling feeling going up and down my leg and feet.


these symtoms are with little or no pain but very frustrating and stopping me from concentrating on day to day things

could these be symtoms of hiv or maybe any other std?

thanks

your symptoms are NOT indicative of hiv.

with that being said...you cannot diagnose hiv by symptoms.  #1  not everybody has symptoms and #2  the symtpoms of infection are the same symptoms associated with numerous everyday common illnesses.

your symptoms came on too late for ars.

the only way to know your status is by testing.
