Sore Tongue and Cold

I'm trying to figure out if I should worry about having an STD or HIV.  I recently messed around with two guys in New York.  I did not kiss either of them.  With one, we both performed oral sex (neither of us ejaculated), and I penetrated him for a short time (I used protection, and I did not ejaculate).  With the other one, we both performed oral sex (he never became fully erect), he deap throated me and I ejactulated in his mouth.  I don't think I had any sores in my mouth, but I don't know about either of these guys.

I have been out in the cold weather a lot prior to getting sick (so maybe its just a cold), began taking a new B vitamin complex (maybe this explains the tongue soreness), but two days after my encounter with these two guys, I started feeling run down, and now (a week and a half later), I have a cough, fatigue, headache, runny nose, an extremely sore tongue (actually my tongue is so sore I can hardly eat anything without it causing extreme pain, and I can see faint spots where the little folds are ulcerated), and my right lymph node in my neck is slightly enlarged.

I have a doctor's appointment, but I need to know if I could infect someone else.  Is this a sign of initial HIV onset?

So could this be chlamidia?  I know that having a sore tongue is one of the symptoms but I thought that for it to be chlamidia it would have to be after at least some of the other typical symptoms manifested?

You didn't have a risk for contracting HIV. You did have a small risk of contracting an STD.
