Brief Answer:
No need for any HIV test
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your question.
I am Dr Matin, and will be answering your question.
HIV can't be diagnosed on the basis of symptoms ( ulcers/ankle & knee pain /red dots over chest & shoulder)
Your test @115 days of exposure is negative well beyond the maximum window period of HIV and is conclusive ,so no more test for HIV is required.
These appear to be aphthus ulcers in your mouth and can settle with Triamcinolone
oral paint along with metronidazole and B-complex tablets.
Your wife's headache has nothing to with HIV as you have tested negative for HIV.
I understand you need a a work up with an internal medicine specialist for your problems. Hope this helps.

Brief Answer:
No, these ulcers are not related to any STD
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your response.
No, these ulcers are not related to any STD.
Please don't be repetitive. I had written at-least twice regarding STD part. I don't find any STD in you.
I understand this forum is for giving probable diagnosis and it is difficult to make diagnosis just upon description of symptoms and few photographs .There is no substitute for physical examination and that's why I want you to see an internist.
Hope I have made everything clear and I finally conclude over here. I request you to please close this discussion.
Thank you!
