Do I need to get a HIV test?

Hello Doctor, Two weeks ago I went to a massage place in Japan and the lady gave me a handjob with massage oil. When I ejaculated she was sitting on my chest back facing to me, so I didn't see what really happened. I got really nervous now because I'm not sure when she did the handjob she actually used her mouth or not, I didn't feel so but as time goes by my memory become blur and I start to think that maybe she did oral. This was without condom. I've read some threads here and I know this is probably low risk, but from the fifth day I got a little fever for one day (37.3) and bad headache. By now it's been more than a week and I still feel little dizzy, but no fever. I have continuous cough but no sore throat so far. Is this related to HIV? If I just want to take a test to reassure, what test would be the most accurate at 2 weeks time?

HIV is inactivated in air and also in saliva so you cant get it from oral.
Don't waste a minute worrying about it, because no one in 40 year HIV history got it from oral. Only sex risks are unprotected anal or vaginal which you didn't have.

Likely you got a flu or maybe they are just psychosomatic "symptoms" because you have been living with the faulty premise that you might be dying.

You aren't the first person to catch a cough/cold the day after sex, and they aren't related unless she gave it to you.
