Is it symptoms of hiv or stress?

Hi, I had unprotected sex with female friend on on their 15 of February she was on her periods but it wasn't heavy flow it was her last day on period . I started developing symptoms like feeling dizzy and swatting during day not at night on day 3 after exposure, on day 27 I tested for hiv using a home test and It was negative

Please help!. Now  I'm feeling upper abdominal pain on my stomach and kidney pain I keep on having slightly raised ringworm rash that itch and goes away within a day and leave mark I'm not sure it because of stress or other STDs

I'm glad you tested because unprotected vaginal or anal sex is a risk.  That you knew her makes it less likely and in the worst circumstances, a one time unprotected exposure is less than 1 percent chance of transmission.  You tested at 27 days.  28 days and beyond is when a 4th generation test is fully conclusive but I would not think your test would change.  Symptoms are NEVER used to diagnose HIV as these same symptoms can be because of lots of things.  I would relax if I were you .

Oky thanks maybe I should start focusing on other possible STIs because I'm feeling upper abdomen pain, my right testicle painful, rash on my neck and chest and something stack on throat that not painful when swallowing
Taking an Oraquick too soon was sort of a waste of time. It provides no information other that it wasn't able to detect hiv at that moment which is not the answer you need. You can take a duo now or wait for the 12 weeks. Here is the sti forum but the "DEZZPEN" seems to be a prescription medication so maybe you should see your doc to explain the situation and the fact you feel there are white spots after all this time.  https://www.medhelp.org/forums/STDs---STIs/show/98
Thanks you

A duo test is conclusive after 4 weeks and any other after 12. If you can't find out what kind of test you took, take another now then you will get the correct answer. hiv docs can't diagnose from symptoms so no one here tries to do that either which is why you should stop examining your body cold turkey and stop googling hiv symptoms cold turkey.
