I had an expierence where I had protected sex but unprotected oral with the girl and it has been about 6 weeks and I had a rash appear in my groin area my doctor said it was a male yeast infection. And I looked up causes of it and it said AIDS and it kind of freaked me out.

Hi...

First off, at 6 weeks, you wouldn't have AIDS, ...if anything, it would be HIV. That being said, oral sex carries a low risk. You had protected sex which is a good thing. At 6 weeks, you can be tested. A test is the only real way to know for sure. Ask your doctor, he can give you a referal to a blood work lab to have the test done.

Someone posted a few days ago about a yeast infection. Stress can cause them...not sure if you know that or not. If that is your only so called "symptom", I wouldn't be too concerned.

You'll be fine... ;)

Like what zimzimma said, it could've been caused by stress, also tell me one symptom HIV doesn't cause?

The majority experience flu-like symptoms, fatigue, sore throat, fever and swollen glands.

Anyway I wouldn't worry about HIV if I were you, just believe what your doctor had told you. Your risk is low. :)
