Ars symptoms

Hi doctor
I visited an adult erotic massage four weeks ago. I had a condom inserted using the girls mouth and had oral/ hand stimulation. I then developed tingling in my genitals visited the doctor post exposure 12 days and then took tests. All negative except herpes being positive with an indication that there has been a trace of virus within the last 28 days but previously negative. Now close to 5 weeks I have chronic throat pain and symptoms seem go be like that of pharyngitis. No fever, no diarrhea, no headaches. However I do have neck pains and the need to stretch my neck quite often. I am taking antibiotic for sore throat and famvir for herpes. I am so worried as if I would at risk for HIV? Please advise I I need to be worried? Are my symptoms due to amocillin and famvir? I have also been traveling quite a bit experiencing change in climates frequently.

Hi all
Further to the above I would like to thank for your responses. I recently did another 4 generation duo test which looked for anitegn and antibodies to HIV AB and results came back non reactive and negative. This was a test which was taken 121/2 weeks post exposure. Can I call it conclusive? Please advise

Thanks all
I am generally a scared person. I was drunk during that incident and did not even know much.  However it is a massage joint and there us no vaginal or anal sex. I keep worrying too much and knowing herpes was transmitted is killing me now. Can any one please tell me though symptoms are not the best indicators is sore throat alone some major indicator? I have had sore throats in the past but this done has neck joint pain and symptoms are like phayringitis which I never re collect having in my life. I have also read that herpes can cause pharyngitis is that true???it is week 5 and I am so scared....

Please tell me if I had no herpes sores or no herpes even in blood but recently acquired through the above mentioned incident is it possible to contract HIV since they say that HIV infected herpes patients transmit HIV at a high rate? I don't know if that CSW had HIV of not but certainly had herpes and I seem to have caught herpes from her...I know you get herpes from body to body contact which could be true as I had a body slide massage done but please tell me your thoughts on other possible infection through this incident
