HIV test: The symptoms of new HIV infection -- acute retroviral syndrome, or ARS -- start 1-2 weeks after infection and usually clear up within a couple of weeks. Any symptoms 2 months later almost certainly are not HIV, and simply feeling feverish doesn't count. And the expousre sounds very low risk. But since you're concerned, you need to be tested for HIV. Almost certainly it will be negative.
