Desperate. Acute phase of HIV?

Earlier this month I had unprotected sex with a prostitute (vaginal only) in a country town. After 8 days I woke up (Friday) with a bit of sore throat (I have several very cold beers the night before). The pain continued until Monday, when I decided to take azithromycin (500mg/day for 3 days). On Thursday it still had not passed, it was much worse. So I went to the doctor and he diagnosed viral pharyngitis. Prescribed me an anti-inflammatory, anti allergic and anti Thermal (if he had a fever). On Saturday the throat still hurt and my glands under jaw sore and slightly swollen dawned (I noticed the swelling through the touch). Today (Sunday) I am much better, the pain virtually disappeared, scratching his throat but only a little. If you touched the sub mandibular glands still hurt a little.

-I had no fever at any time
-I had no skin rash
-I did not have pus in throat

I'm desperate to be the acute phase of HIV. is it possible?
note: I am circumcised. that really decreases the risk of HIV infection?

help me doctor.

I can understand your English. By the way, this is no topic for doctors, this is rather a community.

Circumcision reduces the chance, but doesn't avoid it at all. Your diseases could be driven by worry of being infected of HIV, but I don't say you are definitely HIV-free since you've made yourself vulnerable by doing unprotected vaginal sex. Get yourself tested 2 months from now and trust the result because it is nearly 100% correct.
