Hi,

A non-reactive HIV antibody detection test after 90 days is very much conclusive in the absence of any immunosuppressive drugs or immunocompromised conditions or when not taking post exposure prophylaxis drugs.

Even in the presence of such conditions a nonreactive HIV test 180 days after the risky contact is conclusive. Thus, you are free from HIV for sure. Sore throat is one of the commonest ailment for anyone to have. Your problem is not related to HIV infection.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sankaranantham Murugan, HIV AIDS Specialist
