White tongue and fever

Dear Dr,
Thank you in advance for reading my concern. My situation is 5 weeks ago I had sex with a sex worker in South China after I was drunk. First we had unprotected oral sex for about a minute and protected virginal sex. During oral sex she used a mouth of water, which got from a glass that might have been used for and might contain some semen from the previous customer, to perform.
2 days later I had sex with my wife and we both got flu symptom after a week. I was so worried that I might have passed STD to her so I had a 10 days test and came out negative. But I know it is too early to make a judgment. About 5 days ago I got mild fever like 36.9’to 37.1 degree and dry mouth and white tongue. I’m extremely worried and so regret of what I did. I’ve revisited my doctor again who said my dry mouth might be caused by stress, I’ve just done another HIV test and result will be out few days time.
My question is:
1: Am I at high risk assumed she is HIV+ and the water contained HIV virus from the previous man?
2: As my wife still breastfeeding, if she is inflected, how much quantity of milk is enough to pass to my baby?
3: If dry mouth can be caused by stress, then what about white tongue and mild fever? I’m super worried… please help! Hope the result is fine as I’ll not forgive myself if anything happen to my wife and baby.

Thanks,
Superworryboy

thanks dr, can you please answer my last question, i also had a Anti nuclear AB test and result is ANA positive speckled pattern (titre 1:40), lab comment is 'this anti nuclear antibody titre (1:40 - 1:80) has a low diagnostic specificity and is present in many healthy individuals'
what does it mean?

my doctor said not to worry but of course i do whatever show positive. Is it a normal result for healthy people? Does it relate to hiv?

Hello,
Thank you very much for your post and welcome to our forum.
Let me answer your questions here below:

1: Am I at high risk assumed she is HIV+ and the water contained HIV virus from the previous man?

I DO NOT BELEIVE SO.  THAT WOULD NOT PUT YOU AT RISK OF HIV INFECTION AT ALL WHATSOEVER

2: As my wife still breastfeeding, if she is inflected, how much quantity of milk is enough to pass to my baby?

I DO NOT THINK THAT YOU NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THIS, BECUASE I DO NOT BELEIVE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN INFECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE; THEREFORE EVEN LESS LIKELY THAT YOU HAVE INFECTED YOUR WIFE.  PLEASE FORGET IT!!

3: If dry mouth can be caused by stress, then what about white tongue and mild fever? I’m super worried… please help! Hope the result is fine as I’ll not forgive myself if anything happen to my wife and baby.

YOU HAVE NOT HAD A FEVER (A FEVER WOULD BE A TEMPERATURE ABOVE 37.5) AND YOUR SYMPTOMS ARE TOTOALLY IRRELEVANT BECAUSE THERE HAS BEEN NO RISK OF HIV INFECTION.  IF THE NEGATIVE TEST THAT YOU HAD A T 30 DAYS IS THE HIV DUO (AB + P24 AG), THE RESULT IS FINAL AND FULLY CONCLUSIVE.

Best wishes,
Dr José
