Hello,
Thanks for the consult...

Brief answer,
Urine examination can't ruled out hiv
Don't worry

Explanation,
1. You mentioned that your urine examination shows mucus threads which are not at all related to hiv infection
2. Infact hiv virus can't be seen under urine examination
3. You suspect that the risk of exposure to the Hiv infection is just 1 month ago so you have to wait for atleast 6 weeks or one and half month to detect hiv antibodies by the method TRIDOT test or by Western blot test
4. If you are very much worried that you are infected by hiv then try to do one of the laboratory test which gives the accurate result with in 21days of exposure to risk which include RNA polymerase test and PCR test

Hope this information helps
