As a follow up lip herpes, ganglion on neck, increased athletes foot, swollen and raw throat behind the uvula, could it be confused with hiv?

HIV disease: If you are concerned that you may have been exposed to HIV you should go and be tested as quickly as is feasible. Hopefully this will be negative but if not, early diagnosis and management are best. The elements of "illness" that you have had sound like coincidence rather than immune deficiency.

Home test for HIV: If you are concerned about HIV infection and are not inclined to visit your doctor for a test, as you have been advised, you may purchase a home test kit (from cvs) for a confidential test result.
