Did I get infected with HIV?

January 20th, 2018, I had oral sex with a guy I left the bar with, don’t know him, don’t even remember how we led up to that point, as I’ve never done anything like in years, since my early twenties and I’m late thirties now, he did me and I did him. The next day I felt the weirdest sensation over my body when I awoke. Like I had taken something but was not hungover from alcohol, it felt like maybe I had a pill or something, not that I know of but definitely like something was in my system that hadn’t wore off. I ate a lot that day and just hung out at home exclusively. The next night, late around midnight he called and came over. He initiated going down on me and this time he seemed to be specifically putting his tongue in me. It didn’t feel that his objective was to give cunnilingus, he was not erect and he just appeared to be primarily focused on poking his tongue into my vaginal hole. No licking no nothing stimulative. Afterwards, which was about 5-7 minutes, he got up and was very mean to me all of a sudden and left. I didn’t understand it and didn’t know what was going on with him or why he was so mean to me all of sudden. I called him a few times and he was even meaner. Then the next day I called and he said “everybody at the bar is saying that’s what you get for thinking you’re so pretty” , I said what are you talking about, he said “check your meds in a few months” and hung up and blocked my number. I immediately went out and got an HIV test and it was negative, blood finger prick. That following day, Day 5, I felt slight fatigue, I felt sick, not nauseous or anything, just I was feeling subdued in some way and was resigned to bed. My head had a swirly feeling that was paralyzing me somehow. I remember texting a friend and saying I feel really weird and sick wanting her to take me to the hospital but it was late and she never responded so I got up to dress myself and I felt a single popping sound in my sinuses and out pour a long drainage of mucous and I open my mouth to let it run out to see what it was and it was mucous, I was in shock, I believe I fainted because I woke up in the morning on my bathroom floor or maybe I went to sleep. I immediately went to the ER. I told the ER everything, how it had all started that night before around 930pm and lasted until 11:45. For some reason I was too ashamed to mention the HIV worry and threat, I just kept hinting to being exposed to something, telling them I kissed a guy and my throat hurt. I don’t know why I didn’t tell it all. I was given Zithromax antibiotic and sent home, I was told that if it didn’t work then whatever I may have caught was viral and not bacterial. I crossed my fingers and took my medication. Over the course of two days the night sweats started, I was soaking my pillow and night clothes, not drenched but wet not damp, by the fourth day on meds, which was Day 8 by then, my breath had an awful smell that has never gone away by the way, post nasal drip now for 5 1/2 months, since the mucous bathroom incident. Worried sick I collected myself and came to terms that I needed to wait 30 days after exposure to test. February 29th, blood finger prick, I tested negative. March 30, blood finger prick, I tested negative. April 15, blood finger prick. April 30, Qraquick saliva , I tested negative. May 16, Oraquick saliva test & 4th generation blood test from vein, I tested negative. I’m planning an August 1st test because that will be after 6 months at that time. I haven’t gotten anything else as far as symptoms, no weight loss, no rash, no nothing. So I just don’t know. My body definitely went through something. By the way I saw him at a store last month and he looked really skinny, I’m almost certain I saw jaundice on his eyes, and he was so afraid that I saw him. He ducked and skipped out of there. I haven’t been back to that bar. Nobody liked me there because I was new to the area and my feeling is that I was drugged that night and intentionally he was suppose to give me HIV. The bartender is a big pill head I was told, maybe he was in cahoots and this was all a set up. That’s what I think after he said “they said this is what you get, check your meds in a few months”. I’m traumatized a little. I have three kids. I just don’t know. But my sister says I’m negative because God wasn’t going to let something so mean happen to me. Looking back he tried hard to give it to me if he has it. I remember him thrusting his tongue with all his might. I think he does have it because that’s why he didn’t have intercourse with me or digitally penetrate me, he didn’t want me to be able to prove it if the cops got involved I guess. Please don’t reem me a new one guys, but definitely want your honest opinions, comments and suggestions and BLESSINGS! Thanks

You were never exposed to any risk of HIV, even if that partner was an HIV+. So relax, and stop worrying about HIV, your tests support too, that you do not have HIV. You did not need any test in first place, however since you have "over done", the results will never shift from "Negative" to anywhere even by an iota, simply because your risk never existed.

HIV is never contracted through words, so ignore what he said about the "medicines" It was all BS

You are as healthy as you were, before this incident. Rest assured. Please move on with your life normally, laying all your residual worries to rest permanently.
