Hello agonzales. HIV is contracted through bodily exchange of fluids. After initial infection with HIV, you get flu-like symptoms which are vague in nature. HIV testing is done 3 to 6 months apart and one negative does not ensure that you will remain negative.
Concerning the lesion on your penis, HIV does not leave lesions in initial infection so you need to also be tested for other STDs (sexually transmitted diseases). I would advise you to be tested by your physician or your local health department.
Be well, Dr. Kimberly
