In need of reassurance

Had a casual encounter with someone I did not know four days ago.  She told me before hand she was drug and disease free.  I believe I am ok but just need some reassurance.  We did not have any vaginal, anal, or oral sex.  I fingered her, kissed her neck, etc, and spit on my hand while doing this.

While fingering, I also played with myself and she later gave me a handjob and the encounter was complete. He never performed orally on me.  The reason I am paranoid is I've felt somewhat fatigued over the past two days since the encounter.  No fever, rashes, lymph nodes swelling, etc, just fatigue.  

I am a married man and have never done anything like this before and won't again.  I'm chalking up the fatigue to stress that I have caused myself over this.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.    Any need for an HIV test?

Thanks Teak.  

You do agree in my case though there is no risk and test not needed?

Eventhough you did not have a risk, you do need to know that not all people infected with HIV have symptoms.

Thanks Shangjay.  If you look at the internet long enough you can convince yourself you have anything.  

WebMD says the flu like symptoms will appear within days to two weeks so it leads you to believe it could be immediate.  

Regarding fingering, you could believe you could be at great risk even if you had a blister on your hand.  Looks like it would need to be an actual open wound for it to be even remotely possible.  Thanks for your response.

No risk at all. No vaginal or anal intercourse equals no risk. HIV-related fatigue would take about 2 weeks to show up. Relax!
