Could Swollen Glands And Pain In Neck And Shoulder Be The Symptoms Of HIV?

I am 23 year old female, I have never been sexually active in my life, I am waiting until marriage. My sister had her girlfriend living with us that was shooting up drugs and I used to leave my razors in the bathroom and I am pretty sure that she used them several times. I went and was tested for HIV on November 24th and again on April 18th both test were negative and I was also tested for Hepatist A B & C, all were also negative. But recentely on May 7th, I was cutting vegatables in the kitchen and cut myself with a knife pretty bad, I don t know when the last time it was used or if anyone cut themselves with it before me. Shortly after that, I was going to use nail clippers, I was spraying them off with everywhere bleach and whatever was on the nail clippers and the bleach got into the cut I had. I was tested at 5.7 weeks after the knife and nail clippers exposure. Is that conclusive or is there any risk? About a month after exposure to the knife and nail clippers I started to get a sore throat and swollen glands and I had this pain that went from behind my left ear all the way down my neck and into my shoulder, I don t know if this is a symptom of Hiv or stress. Also I have had one ulcer after another in my mouth. Please let me know what my risk is. Thank you so much in advance

Hello
Welcome to Healthcare Magic
I think you are over concious due to your sister.
You are tested twice and negative so don't worry about infections.
Sore throat and other complains may be due to other corelated infections.
So you need not to worry and consult your physician for simple antibiotics and pain killers.
Take care...
