Have I got HIV

I had unprotected sex with this girl and within a week I had , swollen lymph nodes under my umpit and neckBodily pains, high temperature, itchy eyes..blurry some rash on my foot. So I thought I have the virus. I went for a check within the same week and was told its negative. Still having the symptoms I went for another test 2 weeks later and another 4 weeks later. Also came negative. Wasn't sure of the test cos it was similar to the covid test. Still having itchy eyes ..blurred vision, Bodily pains and swollen lymph nodes after two months went again and result was negative. The Bodily pain came down but the itchy and blurry ayes still remains and now I have like something stuck in my throat, bad breath, this whitish patches on my tongue and the tongue is scalloped so I went to a different place to have it tested which is after 3 and half months after having the affair in it came out negative. I am still worried because my doctor seems to tell me it is stress related as I have been diagnosed with depression and anxiety for tje last 7years . I have these vwry tiny rashes on my face that itches now and worsens when I sweat. In addition I have got these big pimples like that really hurts and it's like black head. I have like so far 6 spots of it of which the first 3 has left a black spot lump after i squish it and still aches after 3 weeks. Can anyone help me out if they had this experience please.

    1. Thanks for the advice. Will get u posted

      1. How long does your fever lasted? Do you feel hot all the time but don't have any fever?

        1. Hot all the time but no fever. Always tired and body aches and feels like I am not myself. People see me and they ask straight away if I'm OK. Yet like I said my current 2 tests about 3months and 3weeks were all negative. I wonder if its the ginger , lemon and tumeric drink I have been having that's why . Also , having magnesium supplements and strongman capsules making the test to show negative. I am going for another test again cos my finger nails kind of clubbing now and some pins and needles
