Massage parlor risk

Thanks in advance for your help. Ill be brief. I went t a massage parlour and had a body rub massage. Although i did not have penetration, my unprotected penis touched several times her vagina, therefore my urethra got in contact with her vaginal fluids. 6 days later i have what look like ARS symptoms: Really high fever and cough.

Does my exposure present a risk of infection?
Is 6 days normal for ARS to start?

You haven't ever read about it ever happening because it didn't happen otherwise everyone in the world would be infected. HIV is inactivated in air which means it can't infect, so HIV can't infect outside the human body.

Only sex risks are unprotected anal or vaginal with penetration so you had zero risk.

You probably have a flu just like the rest of the world gets but they don't all have HIV.
