Hello,
Many people do not develop symptoms after they first get infected with HIV. Others have a flu-like illness within several days to weeks after exposure to the virus. Since you are not having any symptoms(other than the penile bumps which can be due to contact dermatitis or friction rub also), so chances of HIV are less likely. Confirmation is only done by specific tests for HIV like western blot,PCR and ELISA.T hese tests may show accuracy after 6 weeks to 6 months as HIV antibodies take time to develop in the body. So get repeat tests done at 6 months. If the results are negative, then definitely HIV is ruled out. Also in future try practicing safe sex.
Hope it helps. Take care and regards.
