Unprotected oral and drugs/needles...HELP!!

Hello, Im writing again, this time in the HIV/AIDS section, and hopefully someone will respond now that I am moving to this community.  Just about a month ago, I recieved/gave uprotected oral to/from a girl of unknown STD/HIV status.  Afterward, I found out that she had been doing heavy drug usage and needles as well.  She ended up going to a rehab center which required her to test blood, and later the tests came up negative for everything but herpes.  I have still yet to test for the herpes, but I am terrified because I have gum disease and sometimes my gums do bleed.  A few weeks after this, I came down with a flu/cold-like illness, which ended a couple of weeks later, but sometimes I have an upset stomach and my arms ache now and then.  Teak form here ahs told me that there is virtually no real risk for this kind of interaction, but I want to make sure.  I plan to get tested by March 7th, but I hope that others out there will help me with this frightening predicament.  Please, if anyone has any info or optimism regarding my situation, please write back!! Thank you so much

Well, I did a swab test on Monday and they said the results would probably be in by Monday, but if it was in before then, they would call me.  Just lately, I have been checking my weight randomly over at least a week and it has gone from 281 to 270, which, to me, is drastic.  I have been sweating a lot at night, and I have also noticed that I have the white thick coloring known as thrush on my tougne, though I dont know if I got it from my fiancee who had acquired it through antibiotics she was taking at the hospital.  Still, I am very worried and concerned and with just a few days away, it is preying on me more than ever now.  I know I havent been eating regularly, but ten pounds in a week?  I dont know, but this is really strange.  So if thereis no risk, what gives with all these strange symptoms?

Okay, it is now at least a week away from my test date, and I am really freaking out rightnow.  Lately, for at least four weeks, I have been having extreme muscle cramps and pains everywhere and my stomach is either upset or cramping.  I know what everybody has said, and I have believed, but now I am without a doubt, certain there is something wrong.  I know that I have been put at a higher risk because of my gum disease, but everyone that I have talked to from personal doctor to certified physician has told me different opinions, other than the obvious solution: get tested.  I have checked symptoms of hepatitus A,B, and C, other stds jsut to check.  I know also that you cannot go by symptoms, but these arent just coming out of nowhere.  The pain keeps getting worse and it happens sporadically all the time.  I do not know what else it could be.
