Epididimytis and HIV

i had protected sex with a stripper.  After I removed the condon and touched my penis with the same hand.  A few weeks later I thought I had Chlamidia or something and went to get tested.  Tests came back negative, but then a few weeks later I went to the clinic again and they said I had Epididimytis.  I also had major neck pain and now I have a rash on my face and more pain in my neck and shoulders.

I have been extremely stressed out thinking that I have HIV.  Is it possible to get these with protected sex?

You didn't have a risk and your symptoms are not related to HIV.

I realize that Epididimytis has nothing to do with HIV, but the other symptoms that I had including what I would call painful lymph nodes and neck pain seem in line.  I thought I had posted another string, but I can't find it, but it has now been 5 months and I have gotten the same symptoms back including some pain in the neck, a facial rash that seems to be made worse by sun and pain in the neck and collar bone area.

Epididimytis has nothing to do with HIV and you didn't have a risk of contracting HIV.
