Hiv is unable to reproduce outside it's living host,it becomes inactive and therefore unable to infect you.Zero risk and your sore throat is probably from all that smoking you did in the past.Welldone for quitting.Give yourself a pat on the back.

You don't have an HIV concern, HIV is not transmitted at the barber shop.
