What Are The Symptoms And Treatment For HIV?

Hi, I have had sexual contact with three women over the past few (1-3) months and am worried about possible STD/HIV contraction. I received unprotected oral from all of the girls. I participated in protected vaginal penetration with two of them, of which only lasted a few minutes each time. One girl was an escort (Backpage), one was an asian massage parlor girl, one I met online (Craigslist). I have what seems to be herpes. Bumps on my penis head. However, I have had those bumps for months and after three rounds of STD/HIV testing (all negative) and three separate doctors calling the bumps are normal and not consistent with herpes I let go of the idea. Also, because took it upon myself to dissect a few bumps and none of them produced any liquid, puss, etc. I guess my questions are do you think I should be tested a 4th time for STDs/HIV? Is there a good chance I may have caught something, or are chances slim. I went through an awful spurt in college for two years where I saw escorts, etc. often. I had the three tests aforementioned performed after I had stopped (or so I thought so), which yielded the negative results. Thanks for any and all help.

whatever you have mentioned in your history I don,t think you have to go for hiv testing fourth time as three results are negative but the timing in between three tests is very important in my view that you didn't mention. You had sex with one escort girl that also is risky to some extent. Symptoms of hiv are fever or diarrhea or cough for more than one month, severe weight loss, other co-infections and many more. If you have any of these symptoms than definitely go for hiv testing 4th time otherwise its not mandatory at this point of time.
