HIV primary infection symptoms??

HIV primary infection symptoms??

6 weeks ago I gave another guy unprotected oral sex. There was no ejaculation and I don't think precum but not positive.  It was not for long at all either.  I know oral sex is lower risk and most people would say I am not at a very high risk, but I have still been pretty worried, since I know he has had unprotected anal sex with men.  I didn't really have any symptoms until at about 4 weeks after there were a few nights where I felt very hot.  It only lasted a couple hours maybe for about three nights.  I never took my temp until the third night and didn't have a fever.  I had this hot feeling a couple other times over the next two weeks but again was very temporary.  I didn't really have chills or body aches or other symptoms, some diarhea (diarrhea) here and there. So I am not sure if I had fevers or how high they were if I did, I just felt very hot, mainly radiating from my head. I never really "felt sick".  I even was out and drinking alcohol on some of those  nights I had the feelings. I know symptoms vary and some people don't have them at all.  I just want to know if if this sounds like possible symptoms form people who know what they are talking about and are familiar with primary hiv infection.  Thank you.

you were never at risk.  hiv is not transmitted through oral sex.

Thanks for your reply.  I know it is not as high risk, but I have read many websites that say it can absolutely be transmitted through giving oral sex and even studies that show it has been. Do you think what I described sounds anywhere remotely like ARS symptoms?

you read incorrect and/or outdated information.

regardless, do the symptoms sound consistent with what people typically experience with ARS?
