You didn't need to test at all.  You had zero risk for HIV.

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.

Whatever is causing your medical issues has NOTHING to do with HIV.

Oral, anal or vaginal? Billions of negative people get sore throats and joint pain.
