Am I infected with HIV?

Hi there

Recently I received unprotected oral sex from a sex worker

It lasted practicality 5-6sec and I ejaculated into her mouth on the like the first suck

Before she performed it she washed her mouth out with mouth wash for like 20secs and sanitised my
Genitals bacterial wipes. Not sure on her HIV status and didn't see the inside of her mouth either.

I was really really stupid and blaming myself and ever since this activity  I been worried and stressed out from the day after the event

My symptoms are as follows:

Day 1:  headaches, sore muscles and joints, body hot flushes (hot and cold)
Day 2: slight sore ears but no sore throat
Day 3: thrush and whiting of tongue however no fever at all thru my involved
Day 4: continuous post nasal drip and slight dry cough, fatigue but no loss of appetite, sneezing
Day 5: insomnia, irritable, keeping thinking and worrying
Day 6: lower back pain, itching on my skin but physically no rash just very itchy
Day 7: feel like lump in my neck and very tight and slightly sensitive groin area


Saw the doctor just the other day and have organised a full blood count test for HIV and stds so am in the process
Of waiting for my results..

But my question is can I catch HIV thru my experience listed here? And does my symptoms sound HIV related

Pls I'm very worried and totally stressed and have so many sleepiness night

Can someone pls provide me with a answer out there ASAP...

Your symptoms are from the stress because you had no HIV risk from what you did.

Thanks so much feel a little relief however it's been so hard to control my mind over this incidence.

So are you sure HIV is not a threat in this oral situation?

Could most of my symptoms be caused from more anexity and stress do you think? What your thoughts? As I haven't been able to control my mind following this event.

Not a risk for hiv and a very small risk for other stds. Don't worry about hiv. No need to panic.
