Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back once again.
Thanks for posting your query.
White patch over throat can occur in many conditions including tonsilitis and Diphtheria. When your HIV tests remain non reactive even after 10 weeks of exposure, it would be very much unlikely to be due to HIV infection. It is better to consult an ENT surgeon and follow his/her advice.
