Suggest Treatment For Bacterial Tonsillitis Post Unprotected Intercourse

hi, I had un protected sex around the end of August 3 days later I developed bacterial tonsilitis so doctor gave me a 10 day course of antibiotics. A month later it came back bacterial again so was put on another course of antibiotics, 2 weeks after finishing that course I have it again I m being referred to the hospital for further tests but after researching on the Internet and seeing it can be related to hiv I m extremely worried now! What are the chances of it being hiv? Or am I just panicking and it is just a bad case of bacterial tonsilitis as I ve been under quite a bit of stress lately.

Can be an std. Of course STD's are related to HIV since 1) they are transmitted the same... the same activities transmit both, the same people get both. 2) GENITAL std's cause breaks in the protective skin lining and either are necessary for transmission of HIV or very much increase the possibilities of HIV.
Testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea in the throat is necessary for getting the best treatment.
