On the 12 or 13 of September a numbness started in my upper and lower limbs with tingling and it got worsened with time, I have sore throat little pain beneath my lower jaw.
I did the following:
1- on the 16 of September I went to IM doctor for full Medical checkup she checked for vitamins HIV (4th generation),syphilis and some other tests) all normal (negative)
2- on the 18th of September I couldn't sleep for two nights and I did Vitamint b12 and RNA PCR HIV test. All normal (negative)
3- on the 19th of September went to another IM doctor she checked my tests results and said "u don't have HIV" go rest and she prescribed clonazepam to help me sleep.

Detailed Answer:
Hello xxxxxxxxxxxxx! Ι have been through your question.
Regarding your concern, first I think that, you have done all kind of tests according to the protocol, and based on your sexual history you are almost 100% free of HIV for the moment but for the other STIs, I need to know what all tests you have done other than the syphilis (Gonorrhea ? Chlamydia ?).
Even though, there exists a low risk having a STD using condoms you should exclude all the possible STIs.
I have in my mind, a possible pharyngitis and arthritis Gonococci, so there's a need to know the result for this test.
I suggest as well to do a physical examination with neurologist for this symptoms.
I hope my answer helps you.
I wish you a quick recovery.

I did test for gonorrhea, chlamydia, herpes 1 and 2, CMV. But did not test for pharyngitis and arthritis gonococci!! What is this?
1- when can I consider my self 100% not having HIV?
2- I will test for gonococci and come back to you with the results. What other tests do you think I should take?

Brief Answer:
Hello again! Ι have been through your question.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks writing back.
You should know that gonococcal arthritis is a rare complication of gonorrhea and generally causes painful inflammation of the joints and tissue and gonococcal pharyngitis is a sexually transmitted infection of the tonsils and back of the throat (pharynx).
Gonococcal pharyngitis and Gonococcal arthritis is definitely excluded if you have a negative test for gonorrhea( throat swab culture or urine test). But for syphilis what kind of test you have done ( RPR-VDRL and TPHA ?)
Don't worry, I emphasized again that I am pretty sure related your lab data and sexual history that you are free 100% from HIV.
You should continued taking medication for staph skin infection and meet a neurologist for those other symptoms.
I hope my answer helps you.
