what are the symptoms of hiv and syphilis coinfection

On  5th july slept with a prostitute with condom that never broke.I removed the condom,checked and was intact. 20 min later i drove home,fed on some cheaps and went to bed without washing.
After 4 days i developed a sore throat,swollen lymphs in my neck=soft and tender,arm pits and groin=hard and painless.HIV & RPR=negative but prescribed doxycylin & ciprobid + pain killers.10th day after exposure i developed 3chancers on my balls just below the shaft and ulcers in the mouth, went to health clinic RPR=reactive
and was put on penicilin benzathin 3shots 1/week with amoxyl and ciprobid but never stop with doxy.A few days after everything except the lymphs was almost gone.15th day my hands and feet were peeling,the lymph swelling doubled,paining and burning joint aches and sweaty nights.17day got second shot but no difference until the third shot which proved nothing.
On 30july went back to the Dr. RPR & HIV=negative,organ=ok,Xray=generalized lymphadnopathy,urine= ok,stool Ph=7.1.He only precribed fast pain relief gel and pain killers and discontinued other medications and to repeat hiv test after 3month.
Are these the symptoms of hiv coinfection?How did catch syphilis? Can it be drug reaction coz read somewere that never mix penicilin and doxy.To date 25th August lymphs are stil swollen,stomach pain,body iching a rush like in my mouth and toungue,pimpoz on my back and small brown spots on my face.
I forgot to mention we did some deep kissing.I have a habit of hold my penis whilest sleeping,there were cracks on my penis and my boxers had a stain sperm.Please am going mad did i contruct hiv?

week 8 i had an anti body test and was negative.But my lymph nodes are still swollen and burning pain.My throat is no longer sore but the tonsils are still there,my stool is still mush& heavy and having sharp abdominal pain and cramps.
Can the combination of antibiotics cause this or its just ARS? I did a PCR test but am scared of collecting my results.If its ARS can it last this long.And if JH antibiotic reaction/allegie can it also take ths long to clear.Then if its mono how common is it in africa cause iv never heard of it?
