Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
You had your risk contact on 9th October 2015. But the spells of fever and pneumonia occured during the months of March, April and September. So these illness could not be attributed to HIV acquired through this recent contact. Moreover Pneumonia can occur to anybody as well as the throat infection and the presence of white matter over throat in the absence of HIV. Your blood count also within normal limits. Only a blood test for HIV could either confirm or rule out HIV. Without that test nobody can fix it as HIV. So rule out the possibility of HIV with an appropriate test.
