Oral sex and my symptoms *PLEASE READ*

Hello everyone , I recived unprotected oral sex with a girl aproxomitly 3 months ago . I know what you all are gonna say " receptive oral sex is a no risk activity , no
Need for testing , blah blah blah " yes I understand that BUT I cannot not deny the symptoms that I have contracted over the past 3 weeks . They are as follows :

: first I caught a very severe flu about two weeks ago that lasted for 11 days
:during those 11 days I had one night of profuse night sweat , *only one night.
: also during these two weeks I developed itchy and non itchy rash on my leg that was dark and consisted of small pimple like bumps ( went away within 5 days)
: I lost about 5 pounds
: after those 11 days everything was fine until I found a couple of ulcers in the inside of my cheeks that I easily took off
: a day later I felt VERY sore all over my body especially in my neck area
: with the intense sore feeling im also having extreme headaches that are unbearable at times.

So my question to everyone is not if my oral experience put me at risk BUT if my symptoms are or are not related to ARS symptoms .

Stages of HIV...

Primary...maybe symptoms a few weeks after
Asymtomatic...no symtoms possibly 10 or more years
Symptomatic...symptoms appear
Don't worry about it anymore...

@rmd87...Dr. Hook told you several times you had no risk either!
Both of you should let it go...

Thank you so much for those words of wisdom , I really needed them . But my only doubt to that is the fact symptoms have even proven to arise even YEARS after exposure , so why not a couple of months ? But the fact you stated that the symptoms come all at once really puts my head at ease , thank you again.

Symptoms of ARS if you haven't found in your study come on 2-4 weeks post exposure and last 1-2 weeks...
Symptoms of ARS come at once

In your situation...you got sick 2  months later and you didn't have a risk in the first place
Symptoms of ARS, you would of started feeling better not been hit again with headache, body aches ect, after you had the flu...
I hope you do feel better, but it has nothing to do with your oral sex experience

I completly understand , yes I am going through some sort of stress but the fact of the matter is I just can't deny what I'm seeing with my own eyes and feeling with my own body . I am a man of theory and logic , when you rule out all other explanations the one you are left with is correct . I pray im wrong , I pray every second of everyday BUT maybe I'm gonna have to except that I ran the risk and for some reason the odds weren't in my factor and I did contract the diseases . God bless , and stay strong my freind .

Well then can you enlighten me on another logical explanation for all these symptoms or any other diseases that may be related to them . Because the only thing I can conclude from the study of the symptoms are ARS
