HIV And Streptococci Bacteria

I had my hair cut at a barbershop 5 months ago and during that the barber CUT my neck! after 5 weeks and 3 days I got some symptoms  
1- headache: mild and lasts for 3 days (without medication)

2- fever: mild and lasts for 3 days(without medication)

3- Sore throat: lasts for 3 days (without medication)

4-nasal congestion: last more than the 3 days

5-  Then all the above mentioned symptoms disappeared  and after 4 days I had a sore throat again with nasal congestion( No fever no Headache) but I did not receive any medication after 5 days I used antibiotics  for 5 days and I am got much better.

6- one tongue pimple : white one. disappeared in 5 days

7- one pimple on my neck (red one) disappeared in 4 days .
8- Now after 5 months I had a sore throat again but this time ( Specimen culture) which came out saying that the reason behind my sore throat is :  Gram Positive Cocci.
Staph and Streptococci .
I wonder if the above mentioned kind of bacteria has anything to do with HIV or has any relationship with that HIV??
If you ask why I do not have HIV test I would say I am too afraid of that):.

You have nothing to do with HIV.

HIV is transmitted through;

1. Unprotected penetrative sexual intercourse
2. Sharing works with IV drug abusers
3. From mother to child
