HIV and HPV concern***NEED HELP PLEASE***
Last year in aug. 2008 I had a sexual encounter without protection a few times with a man i was dating. Three months later my lymph nodes were swollen and I noticed a rash on my leg, in addition to my throat giving me problems such as dryness and feeling like something is stuck in my throat. I went to see a doctor and got a blood test for HIV In Feb. 2009. That six months that passed from August 2008 to Feb 2009.. My test came back negative (non reactive). However, I went to doctors in April this year and my doc confirmed i had HPV. Now its Dec. and more symptoms have appeared (headaches, nausea, dizziness lasted for a few weeks now gone) the one I am most concerned about is whitening of the tongue , which my doc tells me its nothing to worry about however i notice there are a few raised red like bumps in the back of my tongue and constant dryness of the tongue I cannot get rid of. I have tried NYSTATIN and another tablet doc prescribe does not work. Should I be worried, I know I have to take the test again and I will...just waiting for the holidays to be over. Btw I do not have fever nor diarrea, the headaches for a few weeks and some nauseausness (maybe caused by anxiety) but highly doubt it. Can certain strains of HPV cause all these problems??? I"ve stayed away from the internet for awhile cause everytime i look up my symptoms it always points to HIV.?? Also can a blood test 6 months after my sexual encounter determine my diagnoses accurately I'm really terrified.

Forget about HIV. A test after 6 months is more than enough to prove you are HIV negative.
There are more than 100 strains of HPV and nobody in this world can tell you which one can cause what. But, HPV is known to cause problems/discomfort at mouth, throat and nasal area. Yet, most of these are not life threatening conditions, but just discomfort.
The symptoms you now have have nothing to do with HPV or HIV: It is too late for HIV and irrelevant for HPV to get those symptoms.

Most symptoms of HIV can be attributed to other infections. A test after 6 months is accurate. I would not worry about HIV, but get another test if it would give you piece of mind.
HPV usually does not cause the problems you have listed.
