Brief Answer:
No further testing is required
Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir,
I can certainly understand your concern.
I have worked through your attached query in detail..
As per your clinical narration, the possibility of acquiring HIV Infection is almost nil.
Additional tests are not required if western blot is negative after 100 days.
The sore throat could be due to a minor upper respiratory tract infection.
ARV prophylaxis doesn't affect the tests much. Nothing to worry about.
