Mouth ulcers, dry itchy face, itches on arms and groin, HIV symptoms?

About few weeks ago (around 2 weeks) i had a protected sex with an escort. All i can remember is that the condom didn't break Last week i experienced dry itchy face,especially around the mouth, temple, and chin, itchy arms and legs (no visible rash), and mouth ulcers on the side of my tongue, lower lip,upper gum and the inside of my left cheek. All that happens at the same time. I don't have any fever or muscle pains, or maybe not yet. Are these due to HIV infection? Or is it  probably just me stressing out? Im getting freaked out right now. Any responses will be highly appreciated.

Protection means protection. If your latex dis not fail during the intercourse, your risk of catching HIV remains nonexistent. No risk.

Symptoms are most of the time confusing and misleading because similar symptoms can also be experienced due to other infections.

Test is the only way to determine our health status, if we had an exposure (unprotected anal/vaginal sex or condom break)

Thanks for your response, this kind of chilling me out a bit. I also think that these symptoms are probably something else. But what I'm scared of is that these symptoms came right after the exposure. I've never had these symptoms before, and these symptoms are the symptoms of HIV based on what i read. What do you think about this? Thanks again.
This is possible, you might have picked up some other common infection from your partner or elsewhere, may be a coincidence
.
These symptoms do not reflect ARS fully.

If you were not involved in unprotected penetrative sex, your risk remains Zero
