Received oral sex for less than 30 seconds in a massage center

i am so depressed and stress now , i'm seeking for serious help here .. i am a male and i received oral sex in a massage center for the pass 18 days. And here is my symptoms , pls help me to diagnose whether i'm in serious risk  

1st: i got allergic contact dematitis on my palm ( until today still not yet heal )
7th: i got pharyngitis ( due to my family doctor said it was caused by irritation ( improper breathing ) and has ntg relevant with virus or bacteria that caused it )
14th : i got itchy rashes on my feet after doing exercise
16th: i got rashes with distinct border on my chest but after a while it turns colorless but if look carefully i still can see the distinct border of it ( i started to notice the rash when i scratch on it due to its itchiness but after while it doesn't itchy anymore and only left a colorless distinct border spot )
18th : i got swollen lymph nodes on my neck and armpit ( is it causes by my pharyngitis ? can i got a swollen lymph nodes due to pharyngitis which was caused by irritation ? )

i really hope someone can help me as i already posted several question on other website but they never reply my questions and i'm quite a shy person i not really dare to tell my doctor that i'm in hiv risk.

FROM THE HIV EXPERTS HERE AT MEDHELP:

"As you know from other posts about oral sex, our stance is that giving or receiving oral sex is not a risk for HIV.  Some others suggest that there is an appreciable risk of HIV from oral sex however, there are no convincing scientific reports which support these statements.  The presence of a burn in your mouth, or a sore, or ingestion of blood does not change this.  Still no risk an no reason for testing."  DR HOOK

"As far as HIV is concerned, there is no known risk of getting HIV from performing oral sex on an infected partner, even if that person's genital secretions get into your eyes or if you swallow"  DR HOOK

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. HANDSFIELD

"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 HANDSFIELD

"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

"With regard to the question you ask, I will repeat, as I’ve said more times than I can think- there are NO credible cases in which persons have acquired HIV through performance of oral sex- none!!.  The chance that you will be the first is ridiculously low.  You are more likely to be hit by lightening while reading my reply to you. DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread by masturbation, through oral sex, through kissing or other casual contact." DR HOOK

"There is no credible evidence that HIV is spread through oral sex, with or without the presence of cuts or blood in the persons mouth."- DR HOOK

"Oral sex. there is no evidence that HIV is spread through giving or receiving oral sex"- DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread through oral sex."  DR HOOK

"HIV is not spread through giving or receiving oral sex"   DR HOOK

Do you know how many "viral infections" there are?  You do NOT have HIV, you did NOT have a risk...and any "symptom" you may think you have is not related.

Time to move on now, there is nothing more we can tell you.

you had NO risk.   hiv is not transmitted / contracted through oral sex.

there are over a dozen different proteins and enzymes in the mouth that inhibit transmission.

if you are having health concerns, see a dr.   it's NOT hiv related.
