Odds of no fever for 7 weeks after exposure if infected?

Hi, I had an experience in a strip club VIP room and ever since (7 weeks ago) I have convinced myself I have caught hiv.  My only ars symptom was a single canker sore that lasted about a week that came on 2 weeks after infection.  I never got a fever at all so I'm wondering if that's a positive sign? Would I have gotten a fever if I was infected?
Thanks

So is the oral risk I read about a risk to the person who performs it only?

You had no risk and therefore none of your symptoms have anything to do with HIV. Infection can only happen if you're exposed to the virus by someone who is infected. Since that didn't happen then you'll have to work with your doctor to figure out what's wrong, but HIV is ruled out due to no exposure.

No, not everyone who contracts HIV gets a fever or any other symptoms.  Some do, some don't.  Now that you've listed your exposure, it isn't relevant - neither of those are risks for HIV.  If you did not have unprotected, penetrative anal or vaginal sex, you had NO RISK for HIV.
I didn't say what the experience was in the VIP room.  But it was a unprotected blow job and I also fingered her. What I'm really trying to find out is would no fever mean that I didn't catch hiv?. I'm really freaking out. She also was jerking me while she performed the blow job.
oral sex is safe here per tons of answers. No risk
