Am I at Risk ?

Hi,  I went to Thailand recently and met a Thai girl of unknown status.  Whilst I did not have any sexual intercourse with her I did kiss her vaginal lips and briefly - for a few seconds - lick her inside.

Am I at risk of HIV Infection ?  The mind is a powerful tool and of course If I read a symptom then it seems I have it.

Should I be worried ?

Thanks,

OK - so now we are at day 53 since it happened.  You know, with all the talk on the other forum with the doctors where the whole HIV subtype E thing was talked about (and my exposure was in Thailand) I've started to get worried again.  

I have a lot of pains down the side of my neck and under the ears and also the odd pain in the groin area and in my armpits.  They have been there for the past week or so.

I've read the forums here (both here and with Dr HHH and Dr Hook) and also on thebody.com.  They all say "negligible or low risk".  We all look for symptoms because wikipedia.org and other sites talk about people experiencing ARS during primary infection (though not in all cases) so anything that vaguely resembles one of those symptoms automatically triggers worry.

So - I don't know.  I have anxious days, then I read these forums and hear that I am worried for nothing.  

So - just looking for a little reassurance / reinforcement.  Should I be worried ?
