any help please

i am a male had intercourse with a female unprotected for about 2 minutes ,her status is unknown. 1 month after exposure i had a complete std panel and everything was negative including hiv. at about 11 and a half weeks after exposure i got severe diahreaa for about 1 week and a half , muscle pain, loss of weight(8 lbs), and a rash on my face and collar area on the 85 day(it lasted only hours,it was red and not raised). i got a hiv rapid test on the 86th day post exposure and it was negative. many people say 12 weeks is conclusive so i felt i was fine. its now been 8 months post exposure and i believe strongly that i have oral hairy leukoplakia on the side of my tongue it looks just like it. also my stomach doesnt always feel right,sometimes have pain briefly. i just need help i cant deal with the thought of having hiv. any imput is appreciated. thank you!!

would masturbating 1 hour after possible exposure increase your chances of getting hiv?

Because you have a negative result at 86 days.
Wrong, antibodies form in 90% of the people by week 4 and 100% by 12 weeks.

3 months is deemed  conclusive on here  but yea i can relate with the rash and white tongue  and weight loss.  you can take one last test to tottally rule it out since you have passed the 6 month mark . im pretty sure it will be negative , you must be having anxiety and that can cause some of the issues . hope that helps alittle .
