What are my chances please help

Hi
I m stupid guy from India, 25 days a ago I had a very brief (20 -30 sec max) unprotected encounter with a lady of unknown hiv status (vaginal) out side my town and after that day I haven't been able to concentrate on anything.
I came back to my town and on the 4 day I developed a sore throat that became a flue on 5 th day and lasted for 2 days I think it was due to stress and anxiety and also it a time when viral fever is common here in India(October) apart from this no lymph node swollen until now, no rashes, no nausea, no diaheria, no fatigue,etc.
Also I quiet smoking after that incidence out of guilt so some of the symptoms of quitting are also associated with me(dizeness ,itching, anxiety, and very mild headaches started 4 days ago and these symptoms are very common in quitters cold turkey)also has a stiff neck which is due to my history of having stiffness now and then over there.
Now my question is I know I have to go for test in 4 weeks and then in 3 month but I really want to know what are my chances I have never been sexually active ( apart from masturbation) before this incidence.
Please reply I m very scared. Also there were no cut and bruises as it was not rough encounter.

HIV cannot be diagnosed via symptoms. Take a DUO test at 28 days.

Your risk is not zero. Get tested with a duo test at day 28.
