I'm really worried and need some advice. Could burning and itching in the penis be early signs of an HIV infection? If so, how soon do these symptoms usually appear after exposure?

Penis burning and itching are not typical early symptoms of HIV infection. The primary symptoms of acute HIV infection usually appear 2-4 weeks after exposure and include fever, sore throat, and rash. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and testing if there's concern about HIV exposure.
