Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
Contacting fungal infection does not always mean that you could be HIV positive.
Of course, fungal infections are common in HIV positive individuals, but can happen to any person also who has decreased immunity due to other causes.
You can get your blood tested anytime for the HIV status in the lab, which will tell weather it is positive or negative.
Take proper treatment for the infection as advised. Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
I find this answer helpful
