Hi Allison,
I think you will be fine and I do not think you have HIV acute symptoms.
It is very likely that you have a strep throat or possibly infection with something like gonorrhoea in the throat.
The possibilities of you acquiring HIV from the male are:-
1) absolutely zero if he was HIV negative which is likely
2) between 0 and 0.04% if he was positive and had ejaculated in your mouth which you say did not occur. The figures 0 to 0.04% are to many clinicians minds extremely pessimistic and most of us would put the chances with ejaculation into the mouth at less than 1 in 10,000
The possiblity of acquiring it from the female are zero since nothing happened.
best wishes, Sean

A related discussion,
HIV symptoms within first 2 weeks was started.
Hello 7 days ago I used heroin and did it intravenously. I stressed that everything be new and since I've never done this before someone else prepared it, although I did exAmine the syrynge. I am afraid that I may have been lied to and I did use the same water cup with different water. Now 7 days later I have had diarrhea the past three days and my throat seems to be dry although this may be my imiganition. My concern is assumin the syrynge was new what are the odds of contracting HIV through the same wAter cup just with different water. I Am extremely nervous and regretful any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou.

good day sir, I actually had an intercouse last nove 2, 2009. we had an sexual intercouse with a girl. but i didnt know if she is positive or not. three weeks after I started to have an eye irritation that last for weeks and also i got sneezing and also dry cough and irritated trachea. I started treating it on december 23, oxytetracycline and 2 weeks after it healed. but the sneezing continues because i dont know what to take. and on january 16, i got an gastrointestinal upset that last for one and half months, after that it faded. but the irritated trachea and sneezing still continues isnt an hiv symptoms?
Hi Allison
I don't really have much to add to what I said earlier which I think was very clear in respect of HIV.
Throat culture - routine - will usually not identify gonorrhoea. You need some STD tests.
I do not think you have ARS and I certainly don't think you have HIV. Your risk (if you can call it that) was insufficient to leave you with HIV.
Best wishes, Sean
Doctor,
I just went to the nurse practitioner at my school and she did a rapid test for strep which was negative. She said I had a whitish tongue also. She also did a throat culture, and the lab results should be back in a few days. She also gave me a prescription for amoxicillan. What worries me is that I have no other cold symptoms that could suggest a virus, and it is not strep...so I'm very worried that I have AVS from HIV...would a week after the possible exposure that I had be too early for symptoms?
Just to add,
I just talked to the guy that I could have possibly had sex with and he said that we didn't have intercourse, he just rubbed his penis on my vagina for a bit but there was NO insertion. We had oral sex in which I don't think he ejaculated in my mouth (there could have been precum though) and we made out quite a bit. With the woman, I apparently only kissed and felt her, there wasn't even oral sex involved.
Does this pose significant risk? Also keep in mind that I have symptoms a week later...
thank you
