Cancer sores are not indicative of HIV infection. However any symptoms are meaningless as a diagnostic tool for HIV infection. If you have had a possible exposure, you need to test. End of story.

You are well outside the window period, so get tested and you will know your status.

only a test can diagnose hiv.
