Suggest Treatment For Cold And Throat Infection

Hi, I am male. I had sex with CSW on Dec 30,2016. I had sex for 2 times, each time I wore 2 condoms, which was intact after sex, but appeared that it had come a little front from my body side. I also filled water in condom before throwing and confirmed that it had no breakage as water did not come out. She had bit me near ear and next day a mosquito bit me at the same place and I had a swelling there for some 2 days. Due to anxiety I started having bromhexine(for Mucous) syrup and Ulgel-A(antacid) from late January​ to February 2017. I also lost weight during this time. I had taken liver protection injection in August 2017. I underwent HIV Elisa test on March 30,2017 (12 weeks after sex, 89 days after sex), the result was negative. Would bromhexine, ulgel or liver protection injection taken on August 2016, interfere in Elisa test which happened on March 30,2017?? Or Can I consider this test as conclusive. In May 2nd week, on may 13,2017 I got 2 swellings one in my hand other I m neck. Neck one went off in 2 day s. May 14th again I got some sort of swelling in hand and leg a small size lump kind, which disappeared within few hours. I m noticing this happening frequently from 3 days, however 2 of such lump have turned red. Earlier, I used to get infected very easily by cold and throat infection even before I had sex. Could that be a pre-existing immuno deficiency? Given all this, can I conclude that HIV Elisa test on March 30,2017 (12 weeks after sex, 89 days after sex) as conclusive or should I have another test at 6 month s after sex?? Please, please help me as I m scared to death.

Hello

It is almost likely that weak immune system is responsible for the recurrent respiratory and other infections. But still , to be on a more safer side, I recommend to take repeat HIV test at 6 months period after sex.
Primary relief with:
@ Gargles of salted lukewarm water
@ Balanced nutritious diet
@ Avoid smoking, alcohol if using
@ Deep breathing exercises
@ Antibiotic, decongestants as per the advise of your doctor

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
