But after 3 days to post exposure i have developed stomach pain, sore throat and salivary gland for 2 years. According to some medical websites, salivary gland could happen because of HIV. What is the truth here?

The truth is that if you have had a negative HIV test 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after a possible HIV exposure, you do not have HIV.

There are many things that can cause stomach pain, a sore throat and salivary glands. If you have had these for the last 2 years you should see a doctor or other health care provider to find out what is causing them.
