Hiv symptoms

I have received great information on these forums you guys have been a ton of help. The only worry I have is a symptom I’ve been experiencing. My exposure was receiving a handjob with saliva used as the lubricant. About two weeks post exposure I started experiencing a sore throat. Not a sore throat where I am unable to swallow or as if I had my tonsils removed more like a burning sensation in my throat along with some tenderness in my neck that’s been ongoing. I’m wondering if this is even an hiv symptom in itself as I am not experiencing any other Acute symptoms. Thank you

Please check your email for an important message from MedHelp.  As you have been advised, you did not have a risk for HIV, so there is no need to continue asking about HIV.

You really need to see a therapist, because Covid should be your only health worry today.

Covid 19 is not the only virus in the world and you guys are here to help people about the questions they ask don’t bring covid 19 up to me again I’m well aware of what’s going on this is about a sexual matter has nothing to do with the Chinese virus so I’ll ask again do my symptoms have anything to do with my exposure and do they have any relation to hiv in general
You've been answered multiple times that your situation was NOT a risk for HIV, period, full stop. Nobody is going to address your "symptoms" because you were never exposed to HIV so obviously they have nothing to do with HIV.
