If you get Herpes and HIV from the same encounter, would the herpes outbreak last much longer?

I recently contracted herpes from a one time encounter, unprotected. The initial outbreak lasted 6 weeks, much longer than normal. I am worried the reason the outbreak lasted so long is because I might have also contracted HIV, weakening my immune system.

I had the outbreak for a week. Then I got tested positive for herpes and negative for HIV. I took acylcovir, as prescribed, for 5 days (400mg x 3). When I stopped the medication, the outbreak continued. I was eating and sleeping well. Eventually I took acyclovir for 7 more days, without seeing a doctor. After that, the outbreak stopped. That was 6 weeks from first symptoms.

It's been almost 3 months since the encounter. I've had 2 small 4 or 5 day outbreaks since the first one and took acyclovir for 5 days each time.

I worry about this every night as I try to sleep. I plan to see a doctor again soon. The problem is, I'm so scared. What are the chances I got HIV as well?

In response to Jorge V: Thanks for the reply. I am not taking any medication now. I only saw a doctor that first time when I tested negative for HIV. I haven't taken any HIV meds.

Is a 6 week outbreak normal? I feel fine now. Should I be scared?

Look if you are at all concerned go back and have HIV/AIDS blood test. Your outbreaks of herpes are normal when first contracted everyone is different depending on immune system.

It takes awhile for the full symptoms to appear in HIV so other than seeking further medical tests for peace of mind,we can only speculate..Good Luck ♥
