Is it possible I have it?

Hi I'm new here and I need advice.  Ok first let me start by saying that I know a test is the only way to know but I am very afraid of taking one. Recently, a few weeks ago close to Indepence Day I gave oral sex to three different guys almost within the same week. Prior to that I gave oral sex to a guy but I swallowed his semen. Two weeks later I started getting a sore throat and got worried. I know that sore throat is a symptom of HIV but I didn't have any of the other symptoms. I also want to add that I am a diabetic and I know that if we get sick it can be serious or in some cases fatal. So going into the week of 4th of July I gave another guy head and yes he came in my mouth but I spit it out. Might I add both guys who came in my mouth I kinda deep throated them. The third guy I didn't do too much but the fourth guy I tried to deep throat him but he was too big. About a few days later I witnessed that my throat was sore and everytime I swallowed it felt as if my glands were swollen but they weren't because the pain was above my jaws and going into my ears. After taking some Tylenol severe cold tabs it went away. Recently after drinking and smoking over the weekend I am experiencing the same thing but I haven't had any oral sex at all and I am truly scared because I already have genital herpes and I cannot bear having HIV. Also I have a cough but it's from a tickle in my throat from it being sore. My mom thinks it allergies and let me add that both times it was extremely cold in the house plus I have a habit of holding my urine. Just wanting to know is it possible I may be HIV+? Mind you I never had a fever nor body aches except from last weekend. What do you think?

I know it's pretty late since I've posted this but how do you know I had no risk given the amount of partners I've had plus they were sort of back to back encounters?

You had no risk and your symptoms are not related to HIV. Perhaps you should consider testing for other STDs such as gonorrhea, chlamydia and syphilis.
