Scared about HIV after assault

[healthfreak1991]

I was sexually assaulted over a week ago by a man (unknown HIV status).  I am paranoid now.  I don't know how many women he has slept with or anything.  I was treated at the hospital for Chlamydia and Gonorrhea with antibiotics as a precaution.  However, I'm nervous and have major anxiety about if I have HIV or not.  I can't rest.

He did oral on me and fingered me and was kissing me everywhere.  I don't know if there was semen on his fingers when he fingered me or if he had cuts or anything in his mouth.  I wasn't looking down, I was looking away when this happened.  I do know that his pants were half off and his penis was out, but I'm not sure if it touched my vagina or anything.  I felt something touch me down there but I don't know if it was through his pants at the time.    

I just need a straight answer.  I'm scared sick.  The day after and the next day, I had a fever and chills.  The day after, it also felt like my whole body was hit by a bus (all my muscles were very sore, like I had a hardcore workout the day before).  It also burned when I peed and was very itchy.  Over a week later, my bones hurt in my arms, legs and just everywhere.  I'm also really tired.  I know that this might be due to stress.

How long do I need to wait to be accurately tested?  

Please help

Thanks both of you

No because saliva has properties that render the virus inactive thus unable to infect.

So oral sex doesn't count as being in its living host, like in your mouth?

You never had an exposure.

HIV is unable to reproduce outside its living host (unlike many bacteria or fungi, which may do so under suitable conditions), except under laboratory conditions; therefore, it does not spread or maintain infectiousness outside its host.

HIV is transmitted by;
Unprotected penetrative anal and/or vaginal sex
Sharing works with other IV drug users
Mother to child
