Hello, Chances of HIV infection are extremely low if you have protected sex. There is variation in platelets count although both counts are within normal range. I suggest you to get platelet count done in an accredited laboratory. The symptoms described by you are not specific for HIV infection. I suggest you to get treatment for fever and cold. You may get HIV test if you suspect HIV infection.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
