Early signs of HIV?
I have white spots on tonsils and fever 5 weeks after unprotected anal sex.
I have been on antibiotics for the past 18 days because of stinging in penis during urination day after sex. Burning is mostly gone.
Dr said that 2 weeks after sex, had very high white blood cells count in my urine. But he said that was likely from bacterial infection (which is when he prescribed antibiotics).
Have had fever basically the entire time on and off but just noticed the white spots and swollen tonsils. Is HIV likely? No other symptoms other than the almost completely gone sting during urination, and that has been there from the day after sex.
I just go test but just looking for some input in the mean time.

Never gauge HIV infection, using the yardstick of symptoms. Symptoms are most of the time confusing and misleading.
Since it is more than 4 weeks past your exposure, go get yourself tested, collect your conclusive report and move on with your life. You had unprotected sex with someone of unknown health status, risk is there but that can only be ruled out by a test, not by symptoms
