possible exposure - please help

I had a one night stand with a guy and am very nervous about hiv exposure.  He performed oral sex on me ( I DID not him) and we used a condom during intercourse.  I thought I was being safe but within a few days I started to have painful lymph nodes all over my body (mostly in my armpits) and a small sore throat.   Is this a sign of initial hiv exposure?  And I am at high risk for HIV?  He has sex with alot of women, so that is why I am so nervous.  And now I am having anxiety attacks worrying about this.  Thank you very much for your help.

you were never exposed from the situation that you are describing.

your "symptoms" are not hiv related.

Thank you for your response.  I already have anxiety disorders, so I probably have manifested this situation.  I am sure the more I think I have HIV, the more my lymph nodes become painful.  Thanks again ;)

Since he performed oral sex on you you may have been exposed to HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus).

If you have flu like symptoms and swollen lymph nodes it may be the sign of a HSV outbreak.

I contracted Genital HSV1 from receiving oral sex from a guy, even though he has no visible cold sores or any symptoms.
