Long lasting sore throat

Long lasting sore throat

I had protected sex 1 month ago and about a week and a half later I ended up with a minor cold (minor sore throat, chest and nasal congestion and productive cough and no temperature). The cold lasted about a week and a day. Around 3 days after the cold symptoms diminished I got a sore throat again, only very minor and in one general spot near my right tonsil and slight tenderness under my right ear. As stated the soreness is minor but has lasted nearly 3 weeks now. I am wondering if I have possibly contracted HIV from the female partner I had slept with. We had been drinking, but I am sure that we had protected sex, both oral and vaginal insertion.
Please help. I am very nervous that I have contracted HIV because these symptoms I have never had and this was my only sexual encounter in nearly one year.

You didn't have an exposure from protected sex.
