HIV Questions HELP!!!

I am a 32 year old male who has been having diarrhea for the past year I do not get dehydrated or anything like that but when I go to the bathroom it is watery. So I went to the Dr. and had a colonoscopy done, he ended up taking a biopsy and said that I have eosinophilic colitis. I had a CBC blood test done before my colonoscopy and my counts came out normal but apparently my body is releasing eosinophil cells to fight off something in my colon.

I am nervous it may be HIV and here is my reason (please tell me I'm way off)
-eosinophils are indeed white blood cells and if these cells cannot seem to fight off whatever is giving me diarrhea isnt that a bad sign?
-I have had unprotected sexual encounters with a few women of unknown status.
-I have a few white bumps on my pubic area that do not go away they look like white heads without the pimple, they do not hurt or itch they are just there.
-BUT I am not experiencing any other symptoms of HIV

One last thing: say a person does have HIV do they experience all the symptoms at once or are they all separate?

Thanks for your input it is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your input um the stress and anxiety come and go i noticed though when I am more anxious/nervous about something (usually this) my stomach begins to turn and ache, kind of a nausea feeling. Can you answer my question on the symptoms if you know the answer.

Thanks Again
