too real not to be true?
Hello,
I am writing this because I just can not get this thing out of my mind.
This summer I performed oral sex on a guy. There was no ejaculation but I did feel one or two drops of precum. I should precise that I get easily throat infections because my tonsils are abnormally large (does that multiply the risk btw?).
Two weeks later I had a really bad throat (especially right tonsil), with no fever, but diarrhoea. After 10 days of antibiotics, infection was gone but the node draining the right tonsil became very enlarged overnight (like a golf ball) and very painful (still no fever). The doctor prescribed me antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drug for again 10 days (so in total 3 weeks of antibiotics...). The lymph node is now almost gone, but I woke up two days ago with some "stains" all over my torso and arms, like pink stains that come and go during the day (no spots, its under the skin). It seems now it is diminishing.
I had a blood test two weeks ago (so a month after sexual intercourse), my white cells were slightly in excess but the rest (including the composition of the white cells) was normal. The HIV seroconversion was negative.
Basically, I am over-anxious about it all. In my head, I am already convinced that I got the virus,especially because of the symptoms I present. I would like to ask you what you think the risks are? I am aware that the risks through oral sex are very low but it all seems to be too real to not be true.
I am sorry if it seems stupid to you, but any advice would be most welcomed.

Thanks Kumar, i appreciate your prompt response
I forgot to say that then we simulated penetration by him lying on my back and cming with his penis stuck between my legs (so he came on the inside of my tighs)) and probably rubbed against my scrotum but def not my *** as my legs were very tightly squeezed. I did make sure when cleaning up that no sperm had approached the anus.
does that present a risk?
Im sorry to be so detailed, but I redo the scene thousands of times in my head...
