Lyme disease and late seroconversion ?

Hi all,

I have been diagnosed with Lyme disease 2 years ago, not in its most unbearable form, however quite damaging.

I am worried today because I have received unprotected oral sex from a prostitute (no ejaculation) in Barcelona 4 weeks ago as well as skin contact on the genital areas...
In addition to feeling extremely stupid, I am concerned that I might have caught another disease (HIV..); I have done an HIV auto-test 4 weeks after that and received a negative result, however I know this a too short period to be certain. A few days before that, I scheduled an appointment at a specialized clinic for next Monday (5 week total), which also might not be enough.
I have no symptoms singular to HIV, but still my Lyme disease symptoms that might ressemble some caused by hiv (muscle/nerve pain mostly).

My question is: how much time should I really wait, and does Lyme disease cause late seroconversion ? It is hard to really understand whether autoimmune diseases cause late seroconversion or not...
I am also thinking, the fact that I am weaker than average might have caused the opposite effect, with acute symptoms?

Thanks

Your other thread is removed, so is this 4 week old situation the one that was discussed before?
