Why is my hiv infection progressing so fast?
Hi all! I am a gay guy, 24 years old. My story goes like this.
On 11.02.2018. a guy preformed oral sex on me and after gave me anilingus( first time ever). After almost a week later on 16.02.2018. got muscle weeknes in my legs, day after weeknes plus fever 38,5 celsius, this lasted for a whole week, small ulcers on the inside of my lips and under my foreskin were apearing and disapearing till 24.02.when all stoped I got better. (I think this was the time when I seroconverted). Then I waited for 5 weeks and on 19.03. got tested for HIV (CLIA test) and Syphilis the results were negative (they told me everythink is okey).
One week before testing on 12.03. I had protected anal sex (was top) with a guy, however the guy scrached my fore skin with his teeth while giving me a bj.
Then on 01.04.2018. noticed an enlarged lymph node in my neck on the left side under the chick bone and started having night sweats, lost some weight (just a couple 3-4kg, btw my normal weight was 73-74kg), and had gut problems (increased apetite - was hungry all the time). Thought this was mono (ore maybe seroconversion), lasted for a month and a couple of days. On the end of April. the night sweats slowly stopped and the lymph node got real small. Meanwhile noticed that I have hairy leukoplakia and maybe candida (on the back of my tongue - not sure). On 05.05.2018. got tested for Hep C, syphilis and streptococus all came back negative, did a blood work where the white blood cells were a bit low 4.2 where the refferal range were 4.3 to 11x10^6 (everything else was okey, thout this was normal cuse of the mono) And yesterday on 15.05.2018 noticed that my gums are recieding (real fast I think), still got hairy leukoplakia.
So now I think that I definetly got hiv, not sure when did I got infected on 11.02 ore 12.03. Questions.
Can this still be a seroconversional stage where I am at the moment? Ore acute stage? Ore my hiv progressed to Aids in just a month ore two? If yes how and why? How is this possible, progression so fast? Ore maybe I got something else? What should I do about recieding gums?

I have gums problem every now and then as well, but it is quickly gone when I start brushing teeth with a drop (NOT MORE!!!) of oregano oil as a part of Hulda Clark therapy.
You had
1. No risk. HIV is not transmitted that way.
2. Already tested negative so even if you did have a real risk like unprotected sex (you didnt) you wouldve been in the clear.
You've diagnosed yourself with a disease that is notoriously sometimes asymptomatic based on symptoms. And on top of that there was never a risk of you contracting it.
You assess HIV not on symptoms but on risks. And you did not have a risk.

Also you were on the recieving end of the analingus so even if you did have a sore (you most definitely didnt) he'd have to have been drenched in his own blood (he wasnt trust me youd have noticed) for it to even have the tiniest (so tiny many sources put it at 0%) chance of contracting HIV.

You don't have an HIV infection to progress - your premise is flawed. You started with a self-diagnosis and then worked backwards to connect your symptoms to your diagnosis, which is exactly the opposite of how diagnostic medicine works.
Nothing you have done put you at risk for HIV in any way. No one has ever gotten HIV from receiving oral sex, analingus, or protected anal when the condom doesn't visibly break, and certainly not from being scratched by teeth.
The only sexual risk for HIV is having unprotected, penetrative anal or vaginal sex. Keep working with your doctor to find the cause of your symptoms, as it is certainly not HIV.

What if I had an anal fissure ore wound while I was receiving analingus, ore maybe an active HPV ulcer on my foreskin while recieving oral sex?
I mentioned the ONLY sexual risk for HIV. There is no information you could add to this event that would make it a risk for HIV.

Frequency of HIV testing depends on your risk.
Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) may help prevent HIV infection.
