yeast infection and hiv

Hi,
(1).I am a male and would just like to know if yeast infections associated with hiv can only be mouth and penile or are there any other yeast infections aswell that can be related to hiv. (2).secondly are a coupple of months enough after a potential exposure as repetedly mentioned  on the internet considering yeast infections as the initial symptoms or does it have to at a latter state mentioned by some very reliable doctors. now the exposure i am refering to was not a penetrative activity( anal or varginal) just some casual stuff. (3).basically, near the anus i observed some swelling and was sore aswell for a coupple of days and then on the third it started bleeding and imidiately disappeared leaving a mark behind, then after 2-3weeks it resurfaced and the same thing happened again and again for a few months and eventualy was gone for good. This was NEVER treated in any way and moreover it was just a small spot about half an inch in radius and there was NO odr as there is with yeast infections. so i just wanna know if this really was a yeast infection.
can someone please answer all the three questions posted.
regards

You didn't have a risk of contracting HIV. Yeast infections are not HIV specific. Anyone can get a yeast infection at anytime.
