Recent unprotected sex

Hi,
I recently had unprotected sex with a person who was younger than me. He had some back "acne" that was very noticable and some on the front of his chest that were much larger than acne. He said it was from adult chicken pox? He also had an enlarged lymph node on his neck. He is going to good school in the United States from out of the country and I'm very worried. I have started to develop slight symptoms such as yeast infection, a couple of days after I got sick (no fever), slight fatigue and now I think I might have a lesion on my tongue. He has told me several times that he does not have it. I got tested about 34 days after the exposure and it came back negative (blood). I also got tested just a couple of days after with the swab test. What is the likelihood that I contracted HIV?

It actually could be a rash though, it was all over the back. Also, the big bumps on the chest that are supposedly from adult chicken pox?

Acne in no way is a sign of HIV.

So you don't think that the back acne and the bumps on the chest are signs of HIV?

well 34 day test is not conclusive.. only a 12 week test is conclusive... but at 5 weeks most people would have seroconverted so most probably you dont have hiv but to be conclusive.. test your self at 12 weeks to be conclusive
BTW.. one enlarge lymph node is not a symptom of hiv from what i know.
