HIV early symptoms by having oral sex

Question

Hi

I had a sex with a female nearly 10 days ago, which was 'protected sex' ( i have used condom) . she has done unprotected oral sex and later we kissed each other which involves (tongue sucking, mouth to mouth contact). I don't know much about her previous medical history , is she HIV positive or negative, the thing which is really worrying me is after having that sex from the next day onward I am worried that if i got any STD. STI or HIV infection. At the 3rd day after sex , i started feeling sore throat and pain in throat. I still have really bad sore throat and muscular pain ( which normally i have most of the times) but is the sore throat a symptom of HIV ??? is it possible that she had oral sex with HIV positive person before and i can get infected?

I am really getting panic with each and every passing day :S ? pls guide

you never had an exposure.

hiv is transmitted through...
unprotected vaginal / anal intercourse
sharing iv drug works
mother to child

hiv is not transmitted through oral sex.

here are some quotes from the hiv specialists here at medhelp:

There is no debate (among experts) about the HIV risks associated with oral sex.  The risk is so low that almost nobody who cares for HIV infected patients has ever had a patient believed to have been infected that way.  Among experts, it's a semantic issue about using terms like "no risk" and "very low risk".  There is no difference between my or Dr. Hook's use of "low risk" and other experts' "no risk". 
DR. HANSFIELD 

"And oral sex is basically safe sex -- completely safe with respect to HIV and although not zero risk for other STDs, the chance of infection is far lower than for unprotected vaginal or anal sex.  Please educate yourself about the real risks.  If you stick with oral sex and condom-protected vaginal or anal sex, you have no HIV worries and very little worry about other STDs. "   DR HANSFIELD 

"I am sure you can find lots of people who belive that HIV is transmitted by oral sex, but you will not find scientific data to support this unrealistic concern..."   DR HOOK 

"HIV is not spread by touching, masturbation, oral sex or condom protected sex."- DR. HOOK 

in the public HIV Prevention forum of MedHelp, TEAK and the other moderators maintain that oral sex in all forms is a zero risk activity. Would you agree with this assessment?   
I TOTALLY AGREE / DR GARCIA 

The observation on thousand and thousand of observations is that HIV is not spread by oral sex (of any sort).  DR. HOOK

Don't be worried about that,  I had the same symptoms, because I had oral sex with somebody, after one week, she's calling me on my phone and told me, she's HIV positive. I was scared, I felt dizzy, Headache, foot pain, and i felt HIV symptoms cause it was on my head. I get tested all the time to know if I had HIV, no sign of HIV in my blood. the doctor said to come back after 6 months, I came, no sign. HIV is not spread by oral sex.
