Brief Answer:
Not related to HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
You had protected oral as well as vaginal sex both the time so there is no risk for HIV or any other STD. You had taken two tests for HIV, both were negative at 4 weeks and after so no need to worry at all because you are absolutely safe.
White tongue may be due to some other reason but not related to HIV in any way so consult your physician to isolate the cause and follow the treatment regime. You can go for repeat test at present for your satisfaction to get 100% conclusive result. Be relaxed, forget about the past and move ahead.
Having multiple sexual partners is very high risk for HIV so better to stay away from such unsafe sexual practices to prevent the future risk of HIV as well other STDs. If still any doubt left in your mind feel free to ask me any time.
Thank You

The second test was at 8 weeks, but its been two days i have night sweat, chest pain and extreme anxiety. Its been 7 months since the exposure.
Brief Answer:
Due to fear of HIV nothing else.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.
As the risk is nil in your case the negative test result at 8 weeks is highly reliable and accurate but for your satisfaction you can take another test which gives 100% conclusive result because the window period also varies from 15 days to 3 months.
The symptoms you have are due to unnecessary fear of HIV nothing else because you are absolutely safe and risk free. Don't get anxious or tensed, forget about the incidence and move on in life. Consider counselling services if needed. For any further query you can write to me any time.

Thank you very much for reply.
Do you think these symptoms can be only because of anxiety? Sweating, loss of apetite, dry mouth, white tongue?

Sweating, loss of appetite and other symptoms may be due to extreme anxiety or fear of HIV so just calm down and consult your physician for further management. You can also take help of some psychiatrist if needed.
