Very worrying symptoms for 3 weeks...feeling hot, lump in throat, low sex drive

I am a heterosexual male. I have a low risk exposure on 15/12/2006 in erotic massage parlour, where the working lady with unknown status has performed nude body sliding massage, licking of the body, and brief genital to genital rubbing (less than few sec) and also rubbing of her genital on my back(less than few sec). She use massage oil during the encounter, and she used her upper leg near her vagina to masturbated me and made me ejaculated(less than few sec too). I didn't use any condom since there was no insertive sex involved. But i am worried that some of her vagina secretion might get into my penis during the "leg job", Also I am concerned some of the virus might live longer outside her body, if she has a high viral load (she told me she feel hot) and massage oil was used. I have also got acnes on my back, and I am worried that virus can be transmitted through the acnes.
Anyway some worry symptoms started to develope few days after. On Day 4/5 I started to feel sick, dizzy, and feel hot. I went to see a doctor on Day 5 and he told me I have a mild fever. On Day 7 I started to develop a lump on my throat, which has been on and off for 3 weeks already up to now. Sometimes it feels better(especially during the morning, and while eating), but sometimes it got worse during the day, but it wasn't painful. I also feel hot all over my body(legs, arms, head, neck etc) randomly during the day, but no sweating, for over 3 weeks. I also have a white coated tongue, low sex drive, and i suspected i also have swollen lymph nodes on the side of my neck.
Do you think I am infected?

Thanks for your respond. I do understand that this is an unlikely case, but I do experience some worrying symptoms which appears very uncommon. Anyway I have some question regarding low-grade fever. I felt I have a low-grade fever all this time, when I measure my body temperature couple of times today it stays mostly at 37.2C (99F), I am not sure whether this is normal or does this qualified as low-grade, since I do feel hot most of the time. My body temperature also reach the peak at the late afternoon, around 37.4C (99.4F), which I heard is pretty normal too. But I have doubts. Do I have a fever or not?

But this is getting really worrying. I think I am screwed.
I keep getting this hot sensation all over my body plus few other worrying symptoms I have mentioned earlier, its similar to hot flash from what I have read, but with no sweating. I know hot flash is very uncommon for a guy, must be a symptoms of something serious. Sometimes when i sense my body i can feel it is very hot, but when i measure my body temperature orally, it was normal. I really need a second opinion on whether these symptoms are sign of early hiv or even latter stages. It has been going on for over 3 weeks already.
