Hiv infection????

i think i have latent TB in the spine 8 days ago i had a little fight with some neighbor and he cut me under my lip
in the same night i felt my body itching and couldnt sleep
the next day the itching stopped but i had a strong head ache and neck pain and complete loss of appetite
this lasted for a few days now after 8 days i still feel pain in my neck and head and my throat is sore and i have a white tongue
could this be hiv infection  becoz i am not sure what did he cut me with
and could the hiv primary symptoms appear that fast for people who have latent TB?
thanks in advance

latent TB?  hhhuuummmmm...why do you think you have latent TB?

anyway...you were not at risk from the situation that you are describing (well, except for maybe getting your butt kicked)
