The symptoms mentioned by you, appear to be due to streptococcal pharyngitis, which is common, and is a benign ââinfection, that resolves soon in most individuals. â
In case, your partner, has a confirmed HIV negative status, then there is no chances of HIV transmission.
For people who think they may have been exposed to HIV, having a test and receiving a negative result (which âââmeans they are not infected with HIV), can put their mind at rest. â
To relieve your anxiety and for a definitive âdiagnosis, you might consider getting screened with âHIV test. This will âhelp you get over the past exposure and move âon ahead in your life. â
