It is not due to HIV.

Detailed Answer:
Dear xxxxxxxxxxxx

Welcome back and thanks for follow-up.

Fever is not due to HIV as it is just because of throat infection. Consult your physician and follow the treatment regime. Do warm water gargles and take steam inhalation for soothing of your throat. Allay the fear or anxiety and don't think much about HIV as there is no risk of infection in your case.

Thank You
