hiv infection over hand shake and right after touching my toung

I shaked hand with s possible hiv infected people. Right afterwards, I don't know why I touched my tounge with my hand. My tongue had micro wounds, I think. 3 days later a mild constant fever started ~99 F. It has been happening since 1 week and still on. For the first days I lost my appetite and had a light diarrhea, but it disappeared. I also feel fatigue since then. My question can I get infected with HIV. I have been really worrying since then.

Thanks for your answer

No you can't get infected shaking hands.

But what about touching the tongue (with micro wounds) with my hand which has possible traces of salivas of the infected people?
