Hi
Thanks for the follow up.
Pharyngitis of long duration is due to bacterial infection. For that you need to get a test called Throat swab culture sensitivity test done.
This test will let us know which is the right antibiotic for your pharyngitis. Once the right antibiotic is used your pharyngitis will subside.
As of your Hiv test is concerned even tests done in private labs are authenticated provided its a good diagnostic lab.
Hope this information was useful to you.
