Hello
You had protected sex ( even used tow condoms ) and French kiss three weeks ago.
Protected sex ( as in your case ) ,oral sex and French kiss never causes HIV.
There are protective substances present in the saliva which protects HIV replication and infection, so you are not at risk of HIV infection.
Now about sore throat ,this may be due to any infection or allergy .
While sore throat causes pain in joints ,legs due to certain type of infection.
So consult an E N T specialist and get his consultation for sore throat.
In my opinion there is not a cause of concern for HIV infection for you.
Good luck.

UsuallyiInfections are the most common causes of swollen in the lymph nodes. Common infectious causes of swollen lymph nodes are viral and bacterial.The most common cause of swollen lymph nodes is viral upper respiratory infections such as the common cold.
It could be Infectious mononucleosis which is caused by kissing.
There is a rare possibility of HIV too.
You must get the serological tests done for these diseases along with throat swab gram staining and culture for bacterial infection.
