Please assess my risk

I received a lap dance from a stripper and was wearing jeans at the time, so I do not think any risk there, right?

But she also lifted my shirt and sucked my nipple for about ten seconds. She had been complaiining about a toothache and was sucking on an ice cube to combat the pain. I do not know if this is a generic 'toothache' or something to do with her gums. She kind of caught me by surprise.

Also, about ten days later,I have developed a highly unusual soreness around my neck and jaw where I believe the lymph nodes to be. I do not think this is psychological because I was not dwelling on my fears at the time. Also, I think I've noticed temperature swings in the last few days.

What level of risk is there from this incident? It's the toothache that has me most freaked out. Should I be tested? Will I place my family in danger if I resume normal unprotected activities?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Maybe I didn't explain my concern (or maybe it was obvious) but I was concerned about the presence of blood in her mouth. Is a nipple a mucuous membrane?

Are you saying this is ZERO risk?
