But the strange part was i have been geting itching all over my body which comes and goes for the time i had protected sex. is this a concern?
20 May -I last had Non veg food on 1 XXXXXXX 2017 and was not been having non veg and alcohol for 4 months till 20 May , but on this day I had Chicken in a regular Dhaba I use to visit and have a Strong Beer – felt heavy gastric and fullness in stomach already and bloated. Note: I have always had this Gastric problem coming and going - Bloated, acidity, burning sensation in stomach, acid regression as my life style is of software engineer and no Physical activity.
21 May and 22 may- I had more chicken and more beer and whisky at same place with having gastric symptoms like passing fouls smelling gas and the stool was shiny and soft with light Yellow with some pungent smell
23 May - Now I had mucus in my stools and it increased a little more next days - No loose motion. But I use to Pass gas and stool both at a time and I saw the stool very closely it was having a little pink I think it was blood and got panicked also started to had pains/cramps (I don’t know what was it) in both sides of stomach hip region and sometime pains in centre of stomach coming and going.
26 may – Again had lots of stomach bloating as I had skipped meals as I was not hungry and built more gastric but I had more beer and smoked more and had vomiting sensation – stools was loose and saw a light red / pink and I am sure it was blood again I had pains in side of stomach and centre and below right ribs ( I was very scared as I had read it has liver on the right side of body) and sometimes I had pains left ribs also (sensation and cramps in sides of stomach) and burning sensation in anus and feeling of sum thing coming out after passing stools and randomly.
27 May - I went to DOC General Physician and told him all these - he told I have IBS and gave me prePo IBS for 6 days and then I was taking it and mucus stopped by stools also were hard.

Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are unlikely to be due to HIV or Hepatitis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM once again.
Thanks for posting your query.
First of all, you had a protected intercourse. Application of lotion has no risk for HIV, Hepatitis B and C.
1. Regarding your test reports: Even though the window period for HIV is 6-8 weeks after the exposure and you had your 4th generation DUO test after 8 weeks after intercourse came as nonreactive. It can be highly reliable. But with some individuals, window period can be extended up to 12 weeks. So repeat the test once again to get a more confirmed and conclusive test report.
Your liver function test are showing little elevation from normal. Have the tests for HBV,and HCV and rule out the same.
All your symptoms are not necessarily due to HIV. HBV or HCV. Possibly could be due to IBS or anxiety or dyspepsia.
Follow the advice of your physician in this regards and get well soon.
