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.

Dears, I read this conversation and let me say I had approximately same experience 3 weeks before, in addition in this time (Oral sex time) I had a sore in my deck.  after 3days I had some pain Under the armpit and at my left side behind of my heart  for 4 days so I went to visit a physician but I could not tell physician that I had sure on my deck in oral sex, physician examined Under the armpit and my Spleen and she told me “there is no problem but for being sure you can go to HIV test after 2 or 3 months”, 2 days after I sweated  too much for 3 nights  when I was asleep while  weather was really hot and we did not use cooler, but after 2 weeks I did not have any problem. I should add that I do body building and I took L-glutamine as a daily supplement which I have heard also used for AIDS. finally after 19 days I went to HIV test(ECL test) result is 0.249(negative: <4.9) but I am still worry, may I ask you that tell me what is the probability of being HIV positive in this case?and I am not too much worry about oral sex but this sure on my deck changes my mind, because I have read an article that says if her mouth had sure it might be HIV risk, i do not have wife and children just i am worry, but these conversation was good for me just about sure on my deck, i am worry. Sorry for bothering you 
