Advice has been given to you. Protected sex does not put you at any risk of HIV provided the protection does not fail during penetration. Swelling of lymph nodes may not necessarily be due to HIV only, other infections also cause these glands to swell.

Protected sex is not a risk.  And oral sex is not a risk.
