risk assessment

had unprotected sex of sorts was very drunk eight weeks ago!!

developed rash on inner thigh red blotches on both sides then on right side rash changes and covers one constant area, had rash for about 7 weeks now and dosent look like its gonna go anytime soon!! i have been in humid enviroment for 3 months!!
Dr diagnosed fungal rash and gives me cream, says it is not a hiv rash!!dr says `its been there for so long because its an ideal enviroment for it`
Then 4 days ago get an acute throat infection (i am prone to tonsilitis and sore throats) 7 weeks after possible exposure!
2 doctors have said not consistent with hiv and you wouldnt get it this late on it would have been in the first 2-3 weeks!rs!both drs gave me pennicylin and it seems to be clearing up nicely!
Apart from these two things i have felt perfectly fine been in the gym and generally active not even as much as a sniffle, until 4 days ago obviously!! but yet im still worrying like mad, i know thers a risk because it was unprotected and i dont know her status, i dont think there was actually much penetration!!
it just seems no matter how much reasurance i get i still fear the worst outcome!! i have been tested awaiting results!!
does anyonee here think these are symptons??

You can test 3 months post exposure to obtain a conclusive test result.
