Hello
Since you are in dilemma because you are having discoloration of penis , white tongue, chest congestion .
After going through your query I am writing in detail about the acute HIV ( retroviral ) syndrome , so that you will get some relief in your brain.
Approximately 50-70% of infected individuals experience an acute syndrome following primary infection( you know better if you have high risk contact or not with other girls ).
The acute syndrome follows infection by 3-6 weeks .
These symptoms are fever, PHARYNGITIS , lymphadenopathy, headache /retro-orbital pain ( behind eyes ) , arthralgias/myalgias, lethargy/malaise, anorexia/weight loss , nausea/vomiting/diarrhea.
Others are :Erythematous maculopapular rashes, mucocutaneous ulceration ( on tongue and in mouth).
So you are having only tongue ulcer or coating and sore throat or congestion in chest .
Discoloration of penis , as your doctor told you that is not due to disease, but a normal shape .
If you don't have any risky encounter with others then there is no chance of getting HIV infection by you.
If you would have been infected , acute symptoms may have developed so not a cause of tension.
Wait r for result and relax.
Good luck
