i think i have been infected with HIV...

Hi i'm 30 yrs old male. im from Malaysia and please forgive my poor english

On 6-July i had high risk exposure (unprotected sex) with a bar girl that i just met few hours, that day i was so drunk and my penis can‘t completely stand but still able put into her vagina but not deep inside, i can fell her vagina is quite wet. Few minutes maybe due my penis still can’t keep on erect, and then i give up without cumming. a week later i just feel too odds because everything seems comes too easy, if she can have sex with me probably may have sex with other ones else, and we just met not more than 4hours. My bad feeling came from nowhere; i keep searching HIV/AIDS info from internet. Although i still stay in touch with the bar girl, but my phobia just won’t go away and symptoms starting to appear on my body.

On 16-July (10days after exposure), I went for anonymous HIV test. I was tested Negative by Determine HIV Ag/Ab Combo Kit. I know 10d post exposure is too early to get the test, counsellor advise me to test again 3 weeks later.  14d post exposure symptoms start coming, and every day I living in fear, I can’t get myself calm. I drink beer often at night and smoke heavily (20 or more cigarette per day), sometimes I went home late and just slept 2 hours.

On 20-July (15d after exposure), I started diarrhea and my stool are loose and watery. I feel lethargy, malaise, difficulty breathing and pulse quicken. All came intermitted and last 3hrs, my body feel hot but my oral temperature is normal 37.2c. I start coughing and my throat is dry, feel have something in my throat but hard to cough with phlegm. After that my cough gone worst day-to-day especially during sleep time and on 30-July I started sore throat, few small lymph nodes on my right neck. Went to doctor and get some antibiotics and my throat is getting better but still feel dry, small lymph nodes just faded awhile and appear again in same position, and my cough still remain especially during sleep time.

1-Aug (25d after exposure) I coughing up blood in the morning and the small lymph nodes just don’t go away. this is the first time I coughing up blood, and having lymph nodes.  i know it was a bad sign, I read from internet acute HIV will cause upper respiratory symptoms. My condition is getting worst, until today I still diarrhea and stool like water. This Saturday I will be going for second rapid test, and I have strong feeling I will have HIV positive, my body are telling me that, I just don’t know how im gonna take it.

Just want to let everyone know, don’t let libido come over your mind when you do not know the person and his condition.

Hiv is not determined by symptoms.
Many folks, including myself, have experienced many symptoms and ended up negative.
"If" she is positive it is not common a first encounter will infect you.
Your anxiety and lack of sleep isn't helping your immune system either.
Your chances of another form of an std is more probable.
