2 negatives but suffering symptoms

Dear All,
Please offer me some guidance, I had an encounter with a sex worker (female) on August 1st 2013, 2 weeks later I developed prickly heat sensation in the groin area. I then developed a white coating on my tongue. I attended an NHS clinic in London and had the 4th generation duo test six weeks after exposure, it was negative. I have had no other sexual activity since this incident and have returned to the NHS clinic for a further 4th generation duo test after three months from exposure, this test was again negative. My sporadic prickly heat (intense burning) and rash to parts of my body and white tongue still persist.
My question is: are my symptoms possibly caused by HIV
are my two tests conclusive?

Test is conclusive, symptom never had anything to do with HIV.

What was your encounter?
