Worried on exposure

I had visited a CSW in South Afrcia and had received oral sex from her. I also had protected vaginal sex. Now exactly three weeks later, i have swollen lymph nodes on the neck ( two on my left side under the jaw) and one on the right under my jaw, all around 7 mm in diameter. Also I have sore throat for a week ( no pain, only extreme irritation). I also have a mouth sore ( canker sore) thats been around for two weeks. Im pretty certain Im on my way to being HIV positive. Is there anyway I will be HIV negative?
I have a wife and child and I can't sleep or do anything. Im really troubled.

Sir, don't be pissed. and don't write me off. I have been having nightmares thinking Ive had those symptoms. All of them. Sore Throat, Lymph nodes swollen, mouth ulcer, dysentry and joint pains. I believe you that oral sex carries no risk. DO you think my condom protected sex would have failed?
If no, then sir, why these symptoms? Ive never experienced them before. I read your posts regularly and have great respects for you. And hearing from you is such a relief. Im so scared and haven't had sex with my wife as yet.

Dear Sir Teak, Im so sorry for posting like this. I do not have internet access all the time. I can check only once in ten days. Sir, the sore throat I felt was something strange and for the first time. And at that time I had a canker sore and dysentry. Thats why I was worried since every website said that sore throat is a symptom  of HIV infection. Im so sorry. I apologize and I'm very sorry.

Dear Teak,
Im getting scared with this guy telling me things. Sir, I had dysentry \(4 times), sore throat, enlarged lymph node as i said (as hard as a stone) and of course, a canker sore. Sorry for asking again. Are you sure sir that Im safe or is it that something went wrong? She had deep throated me

Don't recommend anything to anyone. You don't have a background education and your information is incorrect.
