What are my chances

Ok so I'll try to make this brief. So a few months ago I met a guy and we had intercourse a few times with protection. His status is unknown, however we did talk about status  and was tested a month before he and I met. So a month later we got together again, this time unprotected. Then another month passed and he were together again. Two weeks later I started getting a terrible earache, scratchy throay with a little pain, sneezing, phlegm and hoarsness. No fever(but I wouldn't know because it's hot right now) no bodyaches or anything else. The ear pain had subsided otherwise I feel ok. Except for when I think if this could be hiv. I am always nauseous and can't sleep, barely eating, it is always on my mind. I want to know if it is possible I've been exposed. I know I can't go off of symptoms, but I know I  can go off of risk..
Can someone please tell me what they think. I am terrified to go to the doctor...

Youre right.. you definitely cannot self diagnose yourself by analyzing symptoms. the only way is to test.  Looks like you got to brave up and go have your bloodwork done. Get an ag/ab test at 4 weeks past your last exposure followed by a 12 week conclusive a/b test.
