What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For HIV?

Hi doctor, I m worried that I may have hiv.. It s been 3 months since I last had sex. This is my first time having sex with my girlfriend plus she also haven t done any intercourse with any other guy before. My flu, it has been on for almost 2 months now.. The flu pills doctors gave me didn t work out. Sometimes I do feel generally sick like I m having a fever but actually no. I also have some rash at the back of my neck and chest and on the back of my palm. According to the doctor that I met, they said its just normal allergy.. But after applying cream it subside and comes out again. Also on my face, at the side of my lips.. There are dry patches of skin. I also had sore throat for like one week. I also had two enourmost pimple which I thoghth were swollen lymph glands. Once at my neck and now at my jawline. I already took 2 hiv test and it came out negative. Should I be worried?

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
If you are sure that you and your girl friend have never had any other sexual relationship with somebody else, then there is no question of HIV/STD.
All your symptoms can occur to anybody without HIV and not related to HIV. Similarly rashes around neck chest were also due to many causes like seborrheic dermatitis, pimples, fungus eczema etc.
You had 2 HIV test came negative for HIV, but you had not mentioned that how long after your last contact you had these tests. That is very important. If they were Antibody based tests then those must be after 12 weeks to have a conclusive result.
