Heavy petting and HIV risk

I made out with a guy and he fingered me after touching himself.  Four weeks later I became very sick: sore throat, runny nose, basically a head cold that has hung on for over a week.  If he had precum on his fingers and then inserted them inside me, what is my risk?  His status is unknown to me, I had just met him and do not know his sexual history.
