please help me everyone...

hi guys, it's been about 7 weeks after i had put my self at high risk to contracting HIV. i am a gay guy. i had anal sex with 2 guys in less than 24 hours (i.e. I also have oral sex with other guys). they both have condoms when doing anal intercourse to me..but one guy made orgasm inside my anus (which is very dangerous, isn't it?).. the other guy broke his condom then pulled it out..(because he ****** me crazy!) the guy with a broken condom touches my anus with his penis in less than 2 seconds....after that intercourse, i had some itchy raised skin that i believe to be a rash...it was first on my legs, then as i scratch it, it went all over my body. mostly, on the trunk, abdomen, and the back of the neck..i had those itchy rash for a week..i went to the doctor, she gave me presciption, and told me to apply it because she believes it is caused by SCABIES..but i didn't do that..what shock is that the ITCHY rash went away...(without applying the medicine that the doctor gave me)..so i'm really worried now..by the way,, i did apply hydrocortisone cream on the rash to calm down the ITCH..finally, it went away within a week...by the time that i have rashes, i didn't have fever (though, sometime i feel like my body temperature  rise a little bit during the day or everytime i feel sleepy, but i believe that is normal to somebody), or flu-like symptoms..although, i had a very small sore inside my mouth at the time....after experiencing the rash, i have big mouth ulcer or mouth sore..I felt muscle pain on my legs at night for several days....i also have, whitey-like tonge sometime after that, it tastes BITTER...is that a THRUSH problem??? are these things the SYMPTOMS of HIV infection?? I'm really scared to death, i'd rather die than having HIV...please help me...i'm gonna have a blood test in 5 weeks.....please help me....LIZZIE LOU, TEAKS, or ANYONE....every advice or comment is appreciated....

first off...making the statement that you would rather DIE than have hiv is very disrespectful.

my son's symptoms have NOTHING to do with what is going on with you.

ARS symptoms (if any)...appear within 2-4 weeks after infection and last for 1-2 weeks.  stop reading the internet about symptoms...and test.

WRONG!!!!!  it does not take 3 months for antibodies to show up in everyone.  some ppl will test positive in as little as 4 weeks.  if you have a negative result...THEN you must test out to 3 months for a conclusive result.

hello,
Iam going through a very similer thing at the moment, and i have also been stressed about HIV, the problem is that nobody can diagnose you on here. i have the rash and the tongue problem too, the best thing i can say to you is every symptom you have write it down, it might be a silly little thing but just write it down, and keep your doctor informed i have a long list now, another thing is try your best not to stress out, which when your going through all of this is a bit of a joke but the less stress you put on yourself the better, your body can change big time with stress.
it takes at least 3month for the antibodies of HIV to show up, do you have swollen glands? is the pain in your legs at the top of your legs?

i wish you all the luck, just dont panic!
