Am I Paranoid?

I have been in a relationship with 1 guy since September 2010 and have had unprotected sex with him for the entire time.  I have gotten tested for HIV three times since we have been together, and all test were negative.  July 29, 2011 I had unprotected sex with another guy.  At the end of August 2011 I began to have a yeast infection that did not go away and went to the doctor for STD testing.  All results were negative.  The doctor gave me a prescription that was supposed to cure the bacteria infection; the symptoms got better, but are not totally gone.  I was told to come back after 3 months to get tested again.  Am I just being paranoid?  If I was experiencing symptoms of HIV, wouldn't the virus show up on the test?

Thats an excellent result but 3 months is official and 100%conclusive.You need to test when your 3 month marker comes around.All the best.

I believe your question was answered on a previous post but here it is again.Symptoms won,t tell you anything about hiv infection because symptoms don,t diagnose hiv only a test result does.You need to test 3 months after your last unprotected penerative vaginal exposure.All the best.
