Was my risk very big?
Hello, folks.
Extremely worried here. 4 and half weeks ago I performed oral sex on a woman or couple of times. There was also a protected vaginal intercourse. Now 33 days after that I have a sore throat and a mild fever 37.5C. I am extremely worried I might have contracted HIV.
I am so confused about the possible scenarios. A nightmare....please, tell me what I do now?

Teak, thanks again. Your words put my mind at ease. I just can't understand why medical doctors, medicine graduates and so continue to say oral sex still possesses low risk. Several cases of proven transmission have been quoted especially from cunnilingus. Some people who have done protected vaginal sex, but unprotected oral also claim they have been infected exactly via oral sex. I am just so confused in this ocean of contradictory information.
Thank you so much. Some people say it is a low risk, other say no-risk. Teak, could you please explain why is this discrepancy of the opinions? I am puzzled and confused. No risk is not the same as low risk, right?!
My confusion comes from the fact that some people say it is a big risk, other pretty low risk. I don't know what to think - ARS appear exactly 2-6 weeks after exposure.... :( It is exactly my case. :(
