HIV question, urgent

I recently had protected sex with a stranger in Vegas, I am male, stranger is female. Oral was with a condom and vaginal intercourse was with a condom. However, just 8 hours after, I began getting sick with fever, stuffy nose, dierreah, muscle pain. Keep in mind that I was out all night drinking and smoking cigars at a strip club. It's been 4 days after now and I am still sick. Is it possible I contracted HIV?? Please let me know as I am very nervous.

If one has ARS it comes on 2-4 weeks post exposure and lasts 1-2 weeks.

Sorry pressed post comment by mistake. The average time to develop symptoms is 10 days and def no earlier than 7 days. That's irrelevant for you though as you didn't have a risk
