Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
Nonreactive HIV tests 3 months after the risky contact can be taken as an absolute one and you are free from HIV infection. As your HIV tests done twice after 3 months came as nonreactive then your results are reliable to the extent of 100%.
Sore throat is a commonest problem for everyone. Your throat pain and itching over the axilla are not related to HIV.

Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are not related to HIV at all.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
A normal individual with adequate immunity will never become sero-positive after 3 months unless he was on immunosuppressive drugs or Antiviral drugs. In this situation also sero-conversion will not go beyond 6 months in the presence of an HIV infection.
Symptoms of Cold, head ache and pain in the neck are quite common for anybody, at any age at any time depending upon the air born exposure to the infection..
Itching genitals are also not a quite common symptom for HIV infection. This could occur due to many dermatological problems. Consult your physician and get well soon.

As I have pointed out earlier, sore throat and mouth ulcers are quite common for anybody from children to old age. Even before HIV era (37 years), people and medical fraternity knew such problem and there are many reasons for the same apart from HIV.
Forget about HIV and Follow your physician's advice in this regards and you will become alright soon. If you have more doubt repeat HIV test once again with 4th generation test and double negative test makes the reliability up to 100%.

Hi,

Two HIV tests nonreactive, that too even after 6 months after the exposure ensures that you are free from HIV beyond any doubt.
Bumps and pain over tongue is not a common manifestation with early HIV infection. In the presence of HIV one can get an acute infection around 4-6 weeks after the exposure which will settle within another 2-3 weeks. Then the patient will remain asymptomatic for years together (7-10 years) till the immunity of the body go worse. So your symptoms does not fit with HIV. Not to worry about HIV. If your problems persist, consult a Dermatologist or a oral surgeon for further help. Forget about HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back.
Itching over axilla and sore throat are not specific to HIV. Sore throat is a very common symptom to anyone at any time. If it is not respond to gargling and native medicine, you need antibiotics. Even with antibiotic if there is no response, change in antibiotic and throat swab and culture may be necessary.
Consult your physician or an ENT specialist and get well soon.
You are free from HIV.
