Possible exposure of having anal sex with a man i dont know, he pokes fun of me by telling that hes infected with hiv, but then when i texted him hes claimed that he dont have the virus, but im so scared, may 27 i developed fever with runny nose my fever was 48 C its a mild one, and the clinic gave me biogesic and after i took the med. It worn off,  my last encounter was april 27, and may 25 afternoon and evening i drink coke and when i wokeup in the morning, the left side of my throat felt a little soar and was worn off when i got to school and may 29 i visited my throat, i saw red circles, i got scared im thinking that it could be hiv... i visited a genral doc. She said it was a bacterial infection, i told her " arent you going to do swab" to know what in my throat, she said no and recomended me with azithromycin 500mg for 3 days, and montilucas for allergie, but then i finished the medication and it didnt disappeared, i decjded to go to another clinic and asked another doctor may 28 i had trouble breathing and uncomfortable acidity in my stomach, then she said its acid reflux, i also asked her if acid reflux can cause pharyngitis, she looked at my throat she said those red things in my throat called nodules, she precribed some med. I think its antiacid, and nothing happened, during that i got white furry tounge im so scared by that, i just finished my azithromycin a day before i got that white furry tounge, i dont know what to do, i got nodules in my throat that dont go, but i dint think that i got swollen lymph nodes, i touched the right side if my jaw and theres a node but its not that big,  i dont inow what to do im so scared!

Although he claimed that he dont have the virus, i just dont trust him that much
He not an escort or any sort of guy for rent hes a rich man, but the doubt are still there, i dont experience those symtoms but in may 27  i got a short fever, and got a very dry cough, as soon as i got my med. Fever was gone, but after that i still have a feverish feeling, maybe im over thinking and anxiety as well i cant sleep at night thinking of it, i dont have night sweats or big swollen lymph nodes, i just got this nodules in my pharynx, but my dr. Kinda said something ggreat that got me a little stable, she said that if its due to hiv, 3 days it will be more severe...

Relax ! What happened has happened. Though you put yourself at a risk, however it is also a fact that not everyone necessarily contracts HIV from a single event of unprotected sex with an HIV+ partner. Many miss the bullet. Now you wait till 4 weeks of your exposure, get yourself tested for HIV Duo test which will be highly reassuring, repeat the test with HIV antibody test after 3 months of the exposure, collect your conclusive report and move on with your life. Next time, NEVER EVER unprotected with anyone, outside your mutually committed totally monogamous relationship

It is not clear from your post that you got involved in anal sex with protection or without. It is the key starting point to assess your risk.
