Sore throat and angular cheilitis

I am under extreme anxiety. Please help me. Three months ago, I received an unprotected oral sex from a man (I mean I was sucking his penis without condom in my mouth). We did not have any other kinds of sex, just oral. Although he took his penis out of my mouth when he was cumming but there was some left in my mouth. About two weeks later, I was experiencing a sore throat followed by an angluar cheilitis on the right corner of my mouth. They were lasting for around 1 week and gone. Since these symptoms are associated with HIV infection, can you advise me if I already had HIV from him (since I sometimes had bleeding teeth due to gums). I did not have any other than these two symptoms. I would like to go for a test but still very scared and not ready to accept the results. Please help...

Thanks. Actually, I found my teeth were bleeding after getting oral sex. I am scared. I never have experiencing symptoms like that. And also because they happened exactly after 2 weeks and lasted for 6 days. To calm me down, can you pls advise me that have anyone infected with Hiv only develop sore throat and angular cheiltis? What other symptoms usually come along with sore throat during primary hiv infection?

Hi Teak

I had a few unprotected oral sex before but this time was the first time I got some cum of the guy in my mouth. So, were my symptoms due to hiv? Otherwise, why did I have sore throat and angular cheilitis? Look forward to hearing from you. Thank you so much...
