I doubt I have HIV,because I have similar symptoms,Please clarify my doubts

4 years ago, a random guy offered me a lift ride.He was a gay and asked me to give him a blowjob but I was reluctant.Then he asked me to let him to touch my penis so that he would leave me.I was very young,afraid and allowed him to touch my penis.I am 21 now,very skinny,frequently get mouth ulcers,I have tinea and recently got sinusitis as well.One day I went through the symptoms of HIV and found similar to mine.I suspect that the guy applied some HIV infected blood on my penis tip.Can anyone get HIV in this manner?Please clarify.

You couldn't get HIV from what you describe. Here are the only ways you'd get HIV : from having unprotected (without condom) vaginal or anal sex with penetration or sharing IV drug needles to inject drugs. That is it. Oral sex is not a risk. Touching is not a risk. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. Therefore, what you describe is of no risk at all. I'm sorry you have sinusitis but it is just sinusitis, which everyone gets.
