Risk

As a bi-curious male, 3 weeks ago i decided it was time to move on from curious and met a male for oral sex. The male is of unknown HIV status. I sucked him but didn't allow him to ejaculate in my mouth....i may have been subject to some pre-cum but i can't remember.....

The morning after i had a sore throat - which i just thought might be down to the oral and assumed it would go after a day or so....3 weeks on, i still have a sore throat, numb tongue and a tingley ear. I can swallow but it feels like a sharp pain. The glands in my neck are tender (a little bit)

I've had tonisilitus before a long time ago - and i think it felt similar to how i feel now but i'm sure it didn't last for 3 weeks. I've done the searches online for my symptoms and possible HIV always pops up as an option which scares the  hell out of me....i'm petrified and i know that i have about 9 more weeks to wait before i can test.

What do you think the chances or me contracting HIV could be - and what are the other options for my symptoms

Thanks in advance

A scared - no loonger bi curious but straight male!

Oral sex is not a risk of HIV. Testing is not required.
