Allergic reaction or signs of hiv

i had unprotected sex about a month ago. a week later i started having a burning feeling when i would pee.when to the doctor and found out i caught chlamydia. i have only had sex with 2 girls my entire life. before i got my urine culture test my doctor gave me bactrim to take. a few days later then told me i had an std and gave me azithromycin. i only took the bactrim for 5 days before getting this medication. 2 pills every 12 hrs. i then stopped taking it and took the 1g 4 pills one dose.after that i had stomach pain almost 30 mins after taking it. the next day my foot started to hurt and my upper legs was very itchy. i thought maybe it was just a side effect. a couple days later i noticed if i inhaled long my chest would feel weird. then i noticed my tongue got a little white coating on it. and under my feet (plantar area) peeled a little. and my hand peeled a little also  nothing crazy though.. i even feel gassy n often would burp. about 12 days after the day i took the dose i noticed 2 hives on my finger that went away within 10/20 minutes or less and 1 on my arm that went away in the same amount of time. it never appeared after that one time. now today 3 days after this has happened i notice a small rash on the side of my upper leg about the size of a quarter .... could this be an allergic reaction to the azithromycin ? or is this a sign of hiv ? I have no fever... but i got tested because i started to panic . and im waiting on results..  I HOPE I GET SOME FEED BACK . ANYTHING WILL BE HELPFUL . THANKS..
