Diagnosis please

I received unprotected oral sex from a high risk individual.  I started having secretions from my penis a few days after contact.  I am a high anxiety person so I started freaking out thinking I had a serious illness.  I was given doxicycline for 10 days and completed that and the symptoms went away.  But 4 weeks and 3 days after the contact, the symptom came back.  I felt like crap for a couple days and had sore throat, loss of apetite, weight loss, and it felt like my liver and spleen were enlarged.  Then I was given a ceftriaxone shot and put on another antibiotic course.  The secretions slowly went away and the most severe symptoms such as loss of apetite went away after a few days.  I was tested for HIV anti-bodies about a week after contact and of course I didn't realize that they wouldn't show up that fast.  Lately I have had some dandruff which apparently is also a symptom for HIV, but I also have acne.  I realize that all of these symptoms could have multiple causes but I wanted to get some opinions.  Thanks

im think hiv can only be spread from blood to blood mixture, and how high risk was this individual? It seems that you may be over reacting a bit about the oral sex. Calm down, relax, and talk to your doctor.
