Was I infected from giving oral with a piercing?

[Madidas]

Gonna try to keep it short and sweet. I had an encounter with an older; there was some frottage, deep mouth kissing and mutual unprotected oral sex. i ejaculated in his mouth but he did not in mine(it was my first time giving oral, so i wasn't very good at it.) he had no sores or cuts except a piercing on the head of his penis that was very old.

after this encounter the very same week, i had a horribly sore throat, swollen tonsils, night sweats and fatigue. I know these are all symptoms of ARS. it lasted for a week and a half. i would like to note that I did NOT imagine these symptoms or replicate them do to anxiety because they came out of nowhere and I enjoyed my experience and thought i was being safe. They were REAL. I'm fine now but it always nags in the back of my head and am wondering if i should get tested

Nothing you describe about this encounter was a risk for HIV.
HIV symptoms (ARS) can appear anytime between 2 weeks and 6 weeks after infection. ARS symptoms never appear within DAYS of infection. Most people who do develop the symptoms do so at 3 weeks. Symptoms generally last for at least 2 weeks but have been known to last up to 10 weeks. They are described as the worst flu anyone can imagine.
I don't doubt your symptoms were real, nor do I think they were triggered by anxiety. I think they were triggered by a mild flu virus or something like strep throat.
You did NOT have a risk for HIV, but if the anxiety you are now feeling continues to bother you, please go ahead and test for your own peace of mind. There is nothing wrong about taking care of your own health.
Relax.
