HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child

Had you had a risk it wouldn't change at 12 weeks but you had no risk.

Those symptoms have nothing to do with HIV because you had no risk.

No risk from the barber because HIV becomes inactive & unable to infect you once exposed to air--also there was no risk with the sex worker because you used protection.
