Brief Answer:
Meet ENT specialist
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query.
It appears that you have vertigo along with fever.
Just relax the chances of sexually transmitted disease like HIV or syphilis is minimal as you used protection and also tests are negative.
There is a possibility that your ear canal is infected giving rise to vertigo and fever.
I suggest you to meet an ENT specialist.
In addition get TPHA test for syphilis done.
Probably you would have got VDRL done.
TPHA is more sensitive.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any other doubts.
Thank you.
