protected encounter with sex worker

I am a male had a protected encounter with sex worker , i used a condom to my knowledge it didnt break. i did have cracks on my lips. the encounter lasted 5mins or may be less in which i had protected oral and protected vaginal intercourse with the sexworker it involved kissing but not very deep mouth.
exactly 19 days after that incident i had mouth ulcers in my mouth numbering 10-13 they are like small pinhead size. gave a burning sesation for 2-3 days and still last i.e. now 5 weeks after they appeared.
25th day after encounter i had cold sneezing, developed into fever 27th day high fever with sweating , night sweats, sore throat , runny nose, blocked nose, dryness in skin, cough very less sometimes with yellow greenish sputum dehydration these lasted for 4-5 days.
28th day i started with diarrhea watery smelly gas abdominal craps loss of taste in tongue
i remained fatigued sleepy and tired during this duration. this diarrhea went away after i went to doctor and he gave me lactobacillus and it went away.
i did notice some small red dots on skin , total 7-8 on entire body but they still exist i.e. 8 weeks after the encounter. but i am not sure about them when they appeared but i have to hunt for them. they are not cluster in a group so didnt notice them earlier.
after one month from the encounter , nearly when my fever ended my doctor saw me and gave a CBC test, it came back normal, wbc, lymphocyte everything came normal.

my worries.
1. what are these ulcers , very small pin head kind, white kind of dots,   lasting for more than 5 weeks, how long do hiv seroconvertion mouth ulcers last and how do they look. these are inside my lower lip. my doctor said they are apthous minor he gave me a gel and vitamin but they didnt go away. also there was a week gap between ulcers and fever does that happen with hiv seroconversion.
2. does my normal cbc count suggest anything related to hiv this was done nearly 33 days after that encounter at the end of fever.
3. could these random red dots here and there be a hiv rash.
4. right now i dont have facility for hiv testing that is why i am writing to you. please reply at the earliest i will be grateful. i have read all the things but still cant stop worrying.

Using a condom is how HIV is prevented. You had no risk. Symptoms are not used for diagnosing HIV because they are common to a ton of other far more common ailments, which you'll need to address with your doctor. But one thing is 100% for sure is that you've ruled out HIV as a cause because you had No Risk.
