possble hiv symptoms

Hi there four months ago on jan i visited a csw i used protection but later two weeks later came down with a flu and cough back pain shooting pain behind my legs , night sweats legs only , and i noticed a herpes ob on my legs it really concerned me because if i got infected with herpes i most likely be infected with hiv. a month went by and on feb i had an intense burning sensation on my pelvic region but did not notice any bumps a week later i noticed fissures along my crease line and two herpes lesion bumps came one on each side of my legs they healed in a week

since then i dropped 20 pounds
ive been getting moskito like pimples on chest and arms
i have a swollen lymph node on my neck right next to throat
i also can feel two bean shaped bumps on each side of my groin
none in arm pit
last week what really freaked me out a purple bruise like blotch on my arm leaving a circular center with the color of my skin, it has faded away already as of today is bearly visible
two days ago i noticed two dry skin blotches on my shoulders
that really scared, especially the purple blotch and body tweatching throughout my body and little needles prockling on fingers.

What are my chances of a possible hiv infection simotaniously with herpes since i was infected by herpes? i never had any lesion on my penis but hiv transmission couldve occur elsewhere on my body. If i dont have herpes lesion on penis does that mean the condom remained intact i did notice all semen in there when i finished but what if there were holes on it.

three months has passed by and all this symptoms started happening im really scared to go get tested, but any advice would be appreciated thank you for your time .

You keep saying you know you need to get tested...you actually do NOT because you do not have a risk!!  If you need to do so for peace of mind...do it today, the result will be negative and you can put this behind you.  I would still strongly recommend professional help.  It simply is not normal to be so hysterical when everyone is telling you you have nothing to worry about!!

We can't keep repeating ourselves, you need to move on.

You're not paying attention.What does ''you never had a risk'' mean.You don't require any testing.The anxiety you have is causing all those symptoms.You need to get off the net and focus on your life.

You used PROTECTION.You don't have HIV so why talk as if you do.Seek some therapy for your paranoia/anxiety.
