diarrhea and ars

Teak,

I had unprotected sex (vaginal) with a girl i didnt know.  Had diarhea for 3 days (12-15 days after contact).  Had an air pocket in my upper left quandrant that was a bit painful to sleep on.  Went to the doctor after the 3rd day of diarrhea.  The diarrhea stopped on the 4th day and have shown no symptoms other than that.  After the diarhea stopped the air pocket went away and all seems well.  Got tested at 6 weeks and was negative for everything including hiv.  Then about at the 2.5 month stage I got a throat infection followed up by some canker sores.  Doctor says I am paranoid but he gave me the hiv test to be sure for the 3 motnh timeframe.  Does what i described sound like ars?  Thanks
Mike
