Am I HIV infected?

Hi Doctors,

19 days ago, I had a protected sex with a prostitute. 1st she gave me oral with the condom on then had a vaginal sex with the condom on for like 30 sec, then I pulled back (no ejaculation), then she took the condom off and gave me a handjob.

7 days after, I felt mild pain in my left tonsil but gone in 2 days
9 days after, I felt burning / tingling sensation in my inner thighs and gone away after 4-5 days
14 days after, I am feeling tingling sensation at the back of my knees (are these swollen lymph nodes)? I also feel that my throat is dry.

Please answer the following:
1- What is my chance that I have HIV?
2- Can HIV be transmitted when she took off the condom and gave me a hand job (fluids on her hand)?
3- The areas where I feel tingling sensation are where lymph nodes are, so could it be that the nodes are fighting HIV and causing me to feel that?

Please help me, I am worried to death and going in depression

Thanks Teak,

What makes me worried to death is the tingling sensation where lymph nodes are. Can you please comment on that?

You never had an exposure. HIV is not transmitted by oral sex.
