I am a young 21 bi guy. I am not really into the whole sex thing due to HIV, but I have messed up lately. On July 2, 2010 I had unprotected anal sex with another male. Did not think nothing of it at first, but at around 7 weeks I had a very bad dream that I went to the clinic and tested positive for HIV. As soon as i awoke from the dream I run to the clinic to get tested(rapid test) negative. I was so happy until I got home and got on the stupid internet and start looking up symptoms. The more symptoms I looked up the more I had, swollen lymph nodes (right neck, in front of right ear, be hide left ear) No swollen lymph nodes in arm pints I do feel lumps in my groin but I think I was always able to feel my lymph nodes in my goin, low grade fevers, headaces, stress(a whole of stress and depression) weird bumps everywhere, weight loss(maybe due to stress from not eating) so I continue to get tested at week 8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20 all negative. So I after all those test I decide to put HIV out of my mind and just learn from the experience although all my symptoms never went away.
So on Oct 30,2010 I had another incident I gave a guy a rim gob(I always thought oral sex was safe) I knew I was not about to put myself back at a high risk situation so I just gave him oral(rimming, incentive) and some deep kissing(no blood, semen), but early that day I was eating some Halloween candy and the candy bruise up my gums really bad no bleeding or cuts just red and looked scratched. So about 4 weeks later my HIV anxiety came back and I thought I had HIV all over again since my symptoms never went away and I thought they had gotten worse. I came down with trace of phenomena in my lungs. Got tested

omg,
You are conclusively hiv negative over the first incident. More than hiv negative actually, as the window period for hiv testing is only three months. You tested out to five, which is extreme overkill.
The latest incident you are worried about is NO RISK. Therefore it is safe to assume you are still hiv negative.
If you feel unwell, see a doctor. What ever is going on has nothing to do with hiv. You do not have hiv.

Thanks Ann I did go to my doctor and had a full blood test done and a HIV PCR DNA test. Everything came back fine but I had active EBV(mono). Does EBV delay the making of antibodies?

omg,
No, EBV will not delay the production of hiv antibodies.
