What Causes Hearing Loss And TB Behind Nose?

I am a 24 year old gay male. I have only ever had intercourse once, unfortunately it was unprotected and it wasn t completed (my partner did not ejaculate inside me). This happened in August 2012. I later found out that my partner was cheating on me and 3 months later went for an hiv test which came up negative. In this year, 2014, I seemed to have been plagued by many health issues. I have had a sore throat since March and Monday passed I had my tonsils removed. I also experienced hearing loss, at which the doctor took a biopsy and today told me it looks like I have TB behind my nose. I have not gotten an hiv test since the one mentioned above, and am a bit anxious wondering if there s a significant chance that I now have this form of TB due to me having contracted hiv? I have not had any form of intercourse since then
