HIV risk assesment please

[dipwad2007]

I am a upper 40s married het male, non drug user, general good health.  March 31 met with an 'net based hooker.  Unprotected oral (both ways), covered vag sex. At 27 days I was neg for HIV, at 30 days neg for other STDs.  Checked with the woman, last HIV test was end Jan and neg.

I get that unprotected oral is low/no risk but with some exceptions.  What is the "exceptions" part?  In my case, for about 1 year I've had a strange dry/burning/"slimy" mouth problem w/occasional mild thrush.  Also 8 days before I had a root canal on a crowned tooth but the crown had not yet been repaired. I was also finishing a course of antibotics.  Last, I have a lower wisdom tooth coming through and while not painful, the tissue is around is/was perhaps inflamed.

Yes, I've had guilt and big anxiety, like 99% of everyone on here.

My symptoms:
- 1.5 weeks after had very mild stomach upset with loose stools and diarrhea a few times. Not really nausea because I never came close to feeling like vomiting etc. Was not all the time.  Ended after few weeks
- 2.5 weeks after event had a very mild upper throat/back of mouth soreness - lasted maybe 48 hours.  
- 4 weeks was getting hot flashes and feeling very warm/flush. This came and went - lasted 2 weeks. Checked temp many times, mostly in the 80's or, strangely, when I felt over warm the temp was low 70's to high 60's (like "reverse" fever?).
- 4 weeks also getting strange muscle aches, then a week later also joint aches.  Both have came and went, sometimes quickly, alternating to different areas.  This still happens a little but has mostly stopped.

1) In your opinion, does my described mouth condition make me one of the exceptions in the oral risk subject?
2) Do my "symptoms" seem line with ARS or does ARS present differently?
3) I am waiting on the results from a 6 week (41 day) test.  If negative, I would like to be happy and be confident with that.  Would you concur?

I thank you for your time and I hope I have not wasted it.

You were not insensitive but a bit off base... For the record, if you looked you found that I had apologized for posting and retracted the question further down in the thread.
