Possible recent exposure

Last week following a few drinks whilst in Hong Kong I ended up having sex with 2 filipino CSW. One instance was purely oral both ways which I know is extremely low risk. The othe girl wanted to have vaginal intercourse without a condom. I suggested that this was not a good idea and asked that she got a condom from my toilet bag. We had sex but whilst we were doing this I was performing oral on teh second girl and as such could not see if the condom was actually put on.

The following day I noticed that two of my four condoms were gone so believe she may have used it but am unsure.

On returning to the UK i have developed a very sore throat about 48 hours after the potential exposure which has lasted a week along with tender glands in my neck, armpits and groin. In addition I have some pain in my penis.

My question is as follows :

1) Are my symptoms a possible indication of HIV infectiopn or are these too early
2) If no condom was used what risk am I at of contracting HIV
3) Would you recomemend an HIV test and if so at what timeframe.

Many thanks for your help

If you don't know the difference between the inside of a vagina with a condom and the inside of a vagina without one, you've got some serious issues down there.  

1) Too soon for ARS
2) IF she had HIV - 1 in 2000
3) Only if you really think you didn't have a condom on. Test at 6 weeks to see if you have HIV or not, 12 weeks if you want a Teak/FDA/CDC seal of approval.
