HIV can be transmitted if their is presence of sore/ fresh wound. But be mindful, hepatitis is more dangerous and can be transmitted by sex,body contact,saliva and what not. To be on the save side,avoid kissing or kiss only person you know very well

You sound as you know much about HIV testing. I did a 3 month test recently and result was negative. Do you think I'm in the clear? Considering HIV 2 is more prevalent in Nigeria and some people are saying antibody takes more than 3 months to be detected. What's your take on this?

I will start by saying ulcer can make you have all the listed symptoms you mentioned and more, ulcer is wicked. There is no means of getting infected if you practice Safe sex, which I believe you did from your story. Repeat the test after 3months or you can go for a PCR test it detects the virus even at window period.
