Symptoms r Scaring me

Hi all
Some experienced and educated advice please.
15 week negative test in Aus but still
1.burning hands and feet
2.folliculitus rash on back, bum and chest
3.brownish pimply rash on inside of ankles
4.3 month elbow joint and forearm pain
5.armpits swollen
6. loss of muscle in calves and forearms
7.immediate sensitivity to sunlight (instant redness)
8.dry hands, feet, forehead
9.small brownish spots appearing all over top part of body
10. Acne for first time in years on scalp and face
11.white tongue
12.rumbling stomach and loose stool
13.difficulty sleeping more then 4-5 hours

I have had these symptoms for well over 6 weeks now and it is currently 16 weeks post exposure. Could someone please tell me what this could be. My GP says most is anxiety but how can anxiety create all these physical symptoms at once.
Please is there anybody who may be able to help me here. Do I need to test again even though my 15 week test was negative.

Hi sorry to bother you and continue with this line off concern but on another site Dr Frascino states that Hep C can delay Hiv antibodies can u tell me where i might find legitimate reasons that prove this is not the case and if my tests were done with a 4th generation ag/ab would the virus be detected on the ag side of the test or does hep c prevent this from happening.. I by noo means wish to frustrate you i just need some closure on this.

Hi Teak
I live in a country town in New South Wales Australia for my hiv test they took my blood then refrigerated it and then the fly it 1hr to sydney where it is then transported to a lab and tested usually within 48 hours would this time frame effect the result. Thank you in advance for your time

Forget the symptoms, a conclusive test report overrules all the symptoms whatsoever. You do not have HIV

Thank u for your comments. Its not that i feel unwell because i do not. The symptoms are there but i feel normal. I saw my GP last week with these and i feel like  my symptoms were dismissed as anxiety which makes me feel like i am the only one who is concerned it could be HIV. I am afraid that i might infect someone else if my tests were false or i have not produced antigen or antibody.
