Exposed to hiv
Hello everyone am freaking out,
About December last year I met an old friend and we spent some time , we had sex... first one was protected and the second one wasn't protected although I stopped after 2 minutes later when I felt I was being stupid.. so later in a month a developed warts I asked her of her status she said she doesn't know and said she was fine.... fast-forward to 8 months later she sent me a text that she tasted hiv positive on July this year I freaked out and run to a hospital and then did a rapid test the result came out in 10 minutes it was negative... now am more scared because after all this exposure my new gf developed symptoms she also developed warts and then after she is suffering from fatigues also she had rashes all over her body, so am wondering if I should go test again since it was rapid (stript) test it might not be accurate although it was 8 months after , what's you advice guys please am lossing it! My symptoms are mostly limited energy I can tell that my energy level has gone down and yeah I lost weight but that was about few months ago....

A person doesn't get hiv every time they have sex with an hiv positive person. You are negative.
Warts are not hiv. Symptoms can't be used to diagnose hiv so you have been worrying about your own ideas but they are not scientific. The good news is neither of you has hiv, so your only problem is fear of hiv disease. Sometime (hopefully soon) you will realize that and stop worrying.
First step to peace is stop googling hiv symptoms cold turkey. Second step is to stop looking (also COLD TURKEY) at your body for hiv symptoms. If you don't follow these steps you will continue to suffer mentally.

Well she gave me the hpv she addmited that later, and the test I did wasn't r3ally with a reputable clinic ,around here people use a lot of fake cheap materials for test.
We can't help you with that. Get tested at a reputable clinic.
The hpv and anything else you are worrying about is not a diagnostic, so it is irrelevant.
