Hiv ars

Good day, I was wondering my risk and likelihood for this being HIV ars.

5 weeks after a trip I had a sore throat and fever lasting for 3 days, the fever more lasting 2 days. When I look at pictures I saw one guy with whom we drank from the same water bottle and cigarrette had what I think is kerposi sarcoma, so I began panicking. After this scenariom can the sore throat and fever 5 weeks after eposure be conssitent with HIV ars?

Drinking from the same water bottle and sharing a cigarette with someone who is HIV positive is not a risk.

In an adult, the only way HIV can be spread is by unprotected anal or vaginal sex and by sharing IV drug needles with infected users. It doesn't sound like you did any of those 3 things so clearly you have no HIV concerns.
