Scared stiff

good day,
My name is Henry My question is i had a sexual encounter with a lady i don't particularly trust we had protected sex all through but at a time she then proceeded to put my dick inside her raw for like a minute or less and she was heavily lubricated. i have never had unprotected sex before or even an std but ever since that encounter i got scared and afterwards i observed some symptoms like when i drink water i had a bitter after taste in my mouth my lips overly sensitive i also observed a swollen lymph node below my ear and i had loss of appetite i was also feeling highly irritable like severe goosebumps all over my body to the point of not being able to move and also having reddened itchy eyes. i took some antibiotics with some intravenous shots it helped to off set the symptoms and this actually started on the 1st of april after the encounter on the 30th of march. Now i don't know if its Acute hiv symptoms or severe anxiety because i don't know what would have made the nodes below my ear become pronounced. I also forgot to mention that i did kiss the girl a lot could there have been any form of bacterial transmission with that. doctor i need your advise on what my risk as a man might be contacting hiv due to that very brief unprotected sexual encounter that lasted less than a minute or less. Thank you.

Unprotected penetration puts your at HIV risk, irrespective of the duration. Get yourself tested to rule out the possibility of the infection, and the test should be done minimum after 4 weeks of your exposure when you choose 4th generation HIV Duo test
