Brief Answer:
Not related to HIV or any other STD.

Detailed Answer:

Hello,

You had protected encounter with CSW all the time and blood test results for HIV as well as STI came negative after around 4 weeks then there is no risk of HIV from this exposure so just calm down.

Soreness under both ears and headache might be due to other reason not related to HIV. Consult the physician to isolate the cause and follow the treatment regime.

Hope I have answered your query. For any further query get back to me again. Thank you.
