HIV risk?

About a month ago I had sex with a couple of guys on a vacation. They gave me oral and we kissed (real deep french kissing), no anal. I had something like a zit on the penis and canker sore in the mouth.

A week later I started feeling fatigued, feverish and had muscle pains. It got better after a week or two, but this weekend I got a terrible fever and sore throat with headache, and now my anterior cervical lymph nodes are enlarged. It's not a lump like on the most pictures, it doesn't hurt at all nor do I feel it under my fingers, but it's very visible, like my neck got real chubby over night.

Seems like I've experienced all the ARS/HIV symptoms. The test is a week away. What are your thoughts? How worried should I be? Could the zit on the penis or canker sore be the entry point for the HIV? Standard answer here is that oral is not an HIV risk, but why am I getting all the symptoms then?

Thanx for that! So, all these symptoms are something else? I do not need to get tested?
