Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Oral sex carries a low risk for HIV, whereas sex with multiple partners has a increased risk. Negative Oraquick twice, that too, 5 months after the last high risk activity highly reliable and very much ruled out the possibility of HIV infection in you. Your symptoms not necessarily related to HIV at all. Consult a dentist and get well soon.
HIV has its manifestations only after 5-7 years and becomes advanced after 10-12 years if not diagnosed and got treated. With the treatment nowadays no one goes for AIDS terminal stage and likely to die on non-AIDS cause. Only in terminal stages there is a least possibility of absence of antibodies in HIV disease and you could not be definitely reach a stage of HIV. The symptoms of terminal stage with AIDS defining diseases are extremely different. So you need not worry and your blood test would confirm that you are free from HIV. Try to have safe sex in future.
