Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query,
Through your history i understand that you had been tested as HIV negative with both p24 and HIV1/2. since these test are negative there is very rare chance that you are having any infection with HIV. still you can satisfy yourself with further higher investigations like ELISA for HIV1/2 and western blot for HIV 1/2.
As for your present symptoms it might be due to some other throat infection. Do visit your doctor foe the present complains. take care .
