Am I infected from Oral+Fingering+Deep Kissing

I am really thankful to the experts here for your opinions and re-assurances. I have been reading this forum for last 3 months religiously.  My exposure was unprotected insertive blowjob, Deep Kissing and little fingering with a High risk girl , 3 months ago.My exposure is mostly tagged as LOW risk. However, I am experiencing a series of strange symptoms ( I know you don't discuss symptoms here ).

From Day 4 or 5 till today  - I feel like bugs are crawling on my skin all throughout the body
-I visited Dermatologist at  week 8 and she prescribed meds for Scabies (I had some red rash around fingers and arms. But after taking the medicine for a month now, still the crawly sensation hasn't improved.
From week 5- Muscle spasm, mostly calf muscles and sometimes on arms too. I has subsided after a week.
From Week 6- Muscle twitching all over body.
At Week 10- Flu that went away in 1 week with medicine. Developed non-itchy 5 red bumps on neck and chest. It was flat first and a little white head developed, which dried after a week. While the red postures ,turned pink,are still there.
At Week 11-12- Developed itchy open sore (sort of round skin peeling) on penis shaft.

Please help me with your advice and expert opinion based on the above details, do you think I should be worried about HIV

This is an HIV prevention forum not a skin disorder forum. You've already been assessed multiple times by multiple people as ZERO risk for HIV. Go see a dermatologist for your skin issues.
Thanks for your advice. However I am concerned if the rash is anyhow linked with the exposure, let alone HIV.. as it’s one of the common early symptoms of hiv. Moreover my doctor freaked me out saying it could be a viral rash
You had NO exposure, therefore it's irrelevant to this forum. Go see a dermatologist.
You didn't do any of the 3, so you are making up your own science - science fiction actually since you don't have any medical training. Because you don't have any medical training then it is unrealistic for you to have so much confidence in your ability to create a new science.  That confidence is unscientific, therefore is illogical.
So you need to think about it for a minute and if you are still convinced that you can do a scientist's job, then see a therapist for a one on one discussion of this mental block.

The crawling sensation and the muscle twitches are never ending. If it is caused by HIV, can it last for more than 3 months

I can see you in me few months back.LOL brother a finally diagnoised with vitamin d defeiciency.i didnt used to trust doctors.nor even medhelp members..so what i wanna say is there are there are 1000s of diseases out there for which we dont give a damn before...after exposure (guiltuness) leads to them showing up as we skip meals , avoid going out  .You have no hiv risk.if what you call symptoms are too severe you d be in emergency by now..just delete the exposure from your mind and live normally for 1 week as you are before exposure & check for yourself all your symptoms will vanish....if they still persist and you feel by heart they are bothering you visit a expert in this field.RELAX MATE YOU ARE NOT THE 1st person in world to have oral /fingering/kissing with a girl (what kinda work she may do.she is human being too ) .
Your hiv risk is exactly zero from events you said.You will be in headlines in world media if you can prove that wrong after 40 years .get on with life man .
Thanks mate...Glad to know yours is sorted out..Hope mine too is merely Vit D deficiency (I have given sample for bloodwork)..Hope for the best
I didnt mean to say you also will have vit d issues lol...what i meant is you also may have something so silly..so just dont focus on it .live like you are before
Since you didn't have any of the 3, then you are just making up your own science, which is unrealistic for you to have so much confidence in since you don't have any medical training. Your HIV test will a waste of time, and since you don't believe the science now, then it is likely that you won't believe the placebo test results either. Consider therapy instead, since this anxiety is a bit of a mental health issue at this point.
The only reason I am terrified is that The Crawling sensation started just after the encounter (4-5 days after). I never had such an issue in my entire life so far
This is an HIV forum and you can't have HIV. You have no medical training, so it is unrealistic for you to have so much confidence in an HIV theory that you made up just because your skin has a problem. See the dermatologist again for an discussion of whether your skin has an issue and if it is just something you have to live with, instead of wasting your time with your incorrect HIV theory.
Thanks for boosting up my confidence.

Thanks for your time and reassurance  AnxiouNoMore... I am wondering is the muscle twitching and crawling skin sensation a sign of infection, if not HIV may be of other STD

The questions about deep kissing and fingering with a hangnail have both been answered as "no risk."   You have been advised that you were not at risk for HIV from this event.  If you have questions about STDs, you may ask here: https://www.medhelp.org/forums/STDs---STIs/show/98
You had no risk so a test would be a waste of time. Your muscle twitching and crawling skin s in your imagination from fear. If you stop over-examining your body for a disease you can't have, and quit Googling for Death you can relax and it will not be there.
HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.  
Only 3 adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal with a penis
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex with a penis
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. The situation you describe is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. Doctors have calculated the risk from what you describe to be less than that of being hit by a meteor. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established, so no detail that you can add to your encounter will change it from zero risk.
Many many thanks to both of you. It’s helping me calm down my nerves a bit

Oral , kissing , deep fingering are no risk for hiv .as saliva inactivates virus and finger skin is intact skin virus cant pass.
Regarding skin issues i wish to know have you said to dermatologist that you had exposure.if not please explain him  as there are some STD s easily passed and easily curable.hiv is no risk from above events .

Many thanks for your prompt response. I have also visited a GP and she prescribed me meds for Vit B complex and Blood test for Vit D, which I am waiting for the result. I forgot to mention that I had a hangnail or cuticle on finger during the exposure, oral involved deep throating twice or thrice. Does it make any difference? I am totally paranoid about HIV. The bugs crawling sensation and pin and needles at arms and leg...does it sound like peripheral neuropathy?
Cut have to be deep .oral no risk as saliva doesnt transmit virus.prripheral neurophaty is last stage symptom.most common ars starting symptom is fever more than 90% cases...moreover how much assurance you get its zero risk.for peace of mind get a rapid test as its 12 weeks for your peace of mind and put your fears for rest forever..result will 100%  be neagtive .it would reassure you .
Test no need at all.i say it only for your mental satisfaction
Thanks for your kind response
You had no risk and no one got HIV from oral in 40 years of HIV history. You can get E Coli from many foods but you don't test for E Coli after every meal, so it makes no sense to test for a disease you can't have. See a therapist if you continue to be paranoid about a no risk event, since it is doubtful that you would believe the test result either.
What about deep kissing and fingering with hangnail
