HPV and Herpes Signs? Please Help.
Almost 3 weeks ago, I had protected contact w/ a SW. First time (and last time) ever doing this. In complete panic, I took full panel of STD tests 2 days after contact and again after 14 days, all negative. I was given one dose of Suprax and Azythromiacin to clear certain symptoms I was feeling - I took these meds 3 days after contact.
I felt an abundance of guilt immediately after the act and 2 days after contact, experienced tons of anxiety and began feeling burning acidity in the top of my abdomen. The next few days resulted in diarrhea, which has since subsided, but I have not been regular since then (not loose, but not solid BMs). The 4th day after contact, I noticed my tongue was coated white. Since then, the acidity has reduced; however, it looks like I have thrush. My cousin, who is a GI, face timed me and looked at my tongue. He wasn't 100% sure, but went ahead and prescribed me swish and spit nystatin. I am also experiencing some itchiness on the palm of hands, bottom of feet, and front tip of arm pits. Temporary rashes/redness appear on my hands then go away. On occasion, I feel like I might have some burning after peeing (but that could be in my head).
I've asked this in the HIV forum, and they said not at risk. I've asked in STD/STI forum and got response that likely all candida related. I am planning to retest for everything at 4-5 weeks. Here are my questions 1) HIV risk (PCR came back negative 2 days and at 14 days - does this supersede antibody/4th gen - any reason to take again)? 2) any other stds that could be lingering that could cause my symptoms - specifically HPV and/or Herpes? 3) at what point are the STD tests conclusive?

Also, not sure if this is helpful, but I am getting a little bit of itchiness around inner thighs and done the spit test too for thrush and looks just like it. I would very much appreciate any help.
