HIV from doctor

On mar 15 went to oimry care doctor for bloodwork. I'm convinced the lab tech cleaned my arm with hand sanitizer. I cant sy or sure because my eyes were closed but I heard the noise of the pump and felt the liquid on my arm. I didn't think much of it until now. I have a rash on my face and neck. Sore throat. Stiff neck. This comes at exactly 4 weeks. I'm thinking maybe I'm a victim of an unsterile medical procedure

More than anything else the timing of my complications. I have a rash on my face,neck,and collarbone. Sore throat stiff neck and cough. I haven't been sexual active nor do I use drugs. That's the only explanation
