Hiv from oral

I have recvd blow job twice in the last week of feb and first week of march from a sex worker. it was for 4-5 minutes both times and then she finished off with her hand. Did not have any other form of sex or exposure since then.
I had a runny nose after about 15-20 days which lasted for about a week and in April 5-6 i started having trouble swallowing with swollen tonsils, the tonsils have got better now its been about 8-10 days but still some pain and some swelling remains.
I am really scared that i have HIV and have been scouring the webpages for more details on this, i even called the helpline  HIV) but they told me HIV cant happen from only being sucked, on the contrary i find lots of posts on the internet say that it is possible to have HIV by only a blow job.
The symptoms i described are only ones i had, can you please help me, by telling me what is my risk ? should i get myself tested, could it be something else ?

thanks for the answer kumar, but in lots of posts on other sites i have seen, say that oral (being sucked) is also a risky activity( yes low risk) the chances are like 1 in 10,000. at other places also it is said that there has been no known case infected in this manner, i am just not clear if there is a chance, say 1 in 10,000 statistically it could happen ?
they seem kind of contradictory views, i am just scared and not at peace, thanks for your replies
