Can HIV Once Cured Be Infected Again?

Hi there, I have had two recent possible exposures to HIV . one was around 6 weeks back and the more recent one was 2 weeks back. I have started seeing the folksinger symptoms last week - sore throat and a few days back some discounted patches on hand and feet. Could I be infected and be in the seroconversion stage?

HIV can't be judged by symptoms as HIV too shows the same general symtoms like fever sore throat ,loose motions etc.
HIV can only be confirmed by blood tests for HIV .
Since you are exposed to HIV twicw within 2 months, I suggest you get testing done for HIV .
