Did I contract HIV?

It's Day 22 of possible HIV exposure and it's killing me in the inside. I can't concentrate on anything just thinking that I may have contracted HIV. So i received oral sex and had vaginal sex with a sex worker, protected of course, although I did suck on her breasts. Four days later I started getting itchy all over my body and noticed a flat red rash on my chest. Two weeks later I feel one of my lymph nodes swell up and with a dry mouth so I went to go get tested at week 2. I tested negative for HIV. Now it's the 22nd day and I'm still itchy all over, dry mouth and now I have noticed that I developed what is called oral thrush. Am I possibly servo conversing?

Protected sex is protected. If you think there are chances that something went wrong (condom broke, slipped) then take a test. However, some people advise testing periodically for everyone who change partners frequently.

No risk for HIV. Your symptoms are not related.
