Can I be hiv positive

Ok so on sept 12 I went to a place i thought to be a strip club after about 10 min in there I realized it was more of a spa thing I had already paid a cover so while the woman was trying to negotiate s price I said no j don't want this and tried asking for my money back. The bouncer takes out a gun I give him 200 dollar and walk out he walks out behind me and I ask for cigarette he gave me one from his mouth ( I don't smoke) immediately after that I start worrying about oral herpes, so I go to  my gp twice he refuses to test I go to  immediate care he also refused on sept 26 I go to my gp once more I tell him I need to be sure he test for hiv hsv 1 and 2, test came back positive for hsv1and 2 (I've never had genital outbreaks).nether the less Iam fine with herpes. Now on oct 26 I start getting a dry cough and October 27th fever so I google symptoms and give comes up so now I'm stuck with the feeling that I have hiv from sharing a cigarratte till this day my dry cough hasn't cleared up and I feel extremely tired is it possible that I can be hiv positive

HIV can only be transmitted via unprotected vaginal or/and anal penetration, sharing IV drug works and from mother to child.

As you can see, you did not have a risk and therefore do not need to be tested.

HIV is not spread by sharing cigarettes. You're coughing because you smoke.
