Please help. Could this be hiv?

Dr. Thanks in advance for answering this. about 3 weeks ago, I had protected vaginal sex with a sex worker. I fingured the woman, and then masturbated with the same hand, about a few minutes after the finguring.  About a few days ago i got me tested for hiv which came back negative.

Yesterday, I went to a massage parlor and the performed unprotected oral on the woman. I had had my dental cleaning and flossing done a few hours prior, and my gums may have been sore or bleeding.

Right afterwards, I felt really weak, with nasal congestion. My testicle hurts, and I have pain on a part of my lower gum.

Could this be HIV related? I also have tiny spots on my chest. PLease help I am freaking out...

Please see the statement prominently posted at the top of this page:  "This forum is limited to questions about STDs other than HIV/AIDS. For questions about HIV prevention, or if you have general questions about safe sex (e.g., condoms, how to protect yourself from HIV and STDs), please visit the HIV Prevention and Safe Sex Forum."

The quick reply is that you describe a zero risk event and no symptoms that suggest HIV.  If you need more information, repost your question on the proper forum.
