HIV Risk?

I am a 28 year old Caucasian female (for background purposes). 11 days ago, I had unprotected sex with a mid-40s, Indian man. Around day 8, I had red tonsils and a headache. I went to the doctor and tested negative for strep. She prescribed me Amoxil 875 once per day. By the next day, my tonsils were fine, but the headache remains. I recently changed jobs and some coworkers have been ill, however the internet has me worried that I have HIV. Two questions:

1) Is this a "high risk" case for HIV?
2) What other STDs do my symptoms fall in line with?

I plan to be tested next week, but I want to know what I could be looking at.

Thanks in advance!

Hi even though unprotected vaginal sex is considered high risk you fall into a low risk group so i would not even consider the thought but you can get tested at 28 days with the duo test if your concerned.
Other stds would be Gono and chlamydia but if he had these he would not be having sex with you as the pain would be to much unless he just contacted it.
Without symptoms of a white discharge coming from your urethra or vaginal, green discharge or genital sores that all would appear about a week or 2 later, no testing would be recommended unless you have  long term partner.
