Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Clinical diagnosis of HIV is not reliable as many HIV infected individuals show no clinical signs ans symptoms. The best way to confirm HIV status is by testing blood sample for HIV antibodies. I suggest you get an ELISA test for HIV 1 and 2 antibodies which will releive your anxiety regarding that episode.
Thanks.
