Sore Throat

Long story short. I had my last encounter of unprotected sex 10 weeks ago. Before that last encounter I had had unprotected sex with the same guy twice and shortly after I noticed my throat was a little irritated and my taste buds were enlarged. I went to the doctor and had a full panel of std tests run. Everything came back negative and he swore to me he was negative for everything and if he wasn't he would have never had unprotected sex with me. So because I'm stupid we did it again, I didn't do my research on window periods and they weren't explained to me either. My fault. This doctor felt it could be herpangina and gave me a round of azithomycin and amoxicillin not and also a shot. The white pockets in my throat went away but the redness and irritation did not.

After 4 weeks after the last possible exposure I went and had another panel of std tests done because my throat was still irritated, I had also had diarrhea for a month but this has gone away. Everything was still negative and I was told I could come back in 6 weeks for another hiv test. She said she doubted very much that I contracted anything and that I needed anxiety medicine. She told me to take Zyrtec for my throat cause she didn't see anything and prescribed me nystain for yeast in the mouth because I had been on so many antibiotics from the first doctor visit. 10 weeks after any possible exposure my tonsils have become more swollen with white patches on them, it really isn't the most painful sore throat I have ever had but I'm worried that I am positive.  

So I know you can't tell by symptoms but after exposure I had dirrhea for exactly 1 month. I never had a fever, I did lose my appetite so therefore I lost some weight but after anxiety meds I got it back. But seriously the sore throat with on and off white spots for 3 months has got to be something.... does this sound like an ars symptom?

Only one time was it anal and it was for a couple of minutes that started with a condom and then he took it off. Mostly vaginal.

Please stick to relevancies, as I don't need to know how long it was, - just need to know was there any unprotected anal or vaginal?
Your posts leave info to the imagination.

If " it was for a couple of minutes that started with a condom and then he took it off" means you had anal after he took it off then you  had anal unprotected.

If your "another panel of std tests done" means you had a 4th generation HIV test then you conclusively do not have HIV. So all you have to do was outlined in my first response and it is up to your doctor to figure what you have.
