Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be HIV...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is unlikely to be related to HIV. HIV doesn't spread if there is no body fluid and blood transfer. Since you don't share the toys and if you don't share needles, this isn't HIV.

Lymph node and spleen swelling could have other causes. Since WBC is also low it needs to be evaluated further. Your local physician / hematologist opinion is essential.

Hope this helps. Let me know if you need clarifications.
