Should I get tested? (HIV worries after Cunnilingus)

Dear all,

I didn't think I would find myself posting a question here, but after reading through this forum (which has brought much relief over the last 4 weeks since my encounter) I have developed more and more anxiety.
Here is my situation:

4 weeks ago I drunkedly visited a massage parlour in Ho Chi Minh, after a short massage the lady stripped naked, climbed on top of me and started offering a happy ending. I was excited, (and without senses - aka drunk) and put my tongue inside her vagina - this incident of brief cunnilingus lasted no more than a deep poke of my tongue. She stopped and climbed off but eventually again climbed back on to finish off her service.

3 days after this event I woke up in cold sweats, which lasted 2 nights concurrently. This is what initially triggered my HIV anxiety - however I can also attribute this to a heavy weekend of binge drinking and most probably acute alcohol withdrawal. (I am not a big drinker but this particular weekend was very full on).

2 weeks after this event I developed a cold, with blocked nose, coughing and sneezing. This subsided after a week or so but now a dry cough still lingers.

I wonder if the dry cough is a symptom of ARS?

I can imagine your valued response to my questions as I have seen similar posts in this forum, however the very act of writing here brings a catharsis to my severely anxious mind.

I do hope someone can offer me direct logic and if I need testing you can suggest it.

Many thanks,

You were never at any risk of HIV. Cunnilingus does not put us at HIV risk, it is safe from HIV standpoint.
