hiv exposure, please help

So what brings me here is about four days ago I had sex with a transexual sex worker. Needless to say I was pretty drunk and have never done anything like this before. So I gave her oral with no condom there was no ejaculation of any sort. As I read this is a no risk situation as you put in an older post. Then I had anal sex with her where she was receiving. During that time the condom did break. We felt it break and immeditaly stopped and put a new one on. About 15 hrs after this incident I started to get a headache and feel hot.My temp is pretty normal as i've been checking highest 98.4. I've had muscle twtiching some diarrea, and a real bad headache that seemed to finally subside to day which is five days after the incedent. Could I have gotten hiv are my worries legitamte. I can't stand waiting and decided to not to do a pcnr test. and get my first oral swab test at three weeks. then again at four or five weeks. Also what do you they mean by open cuts because I have psorasis and have dry skin. And later after I got head with protection after the anal sex I noticed I had a skin tear just below my head. It started to burn for about five or ten minutes as I was leaving but at the time I just brushed it off.Since the encounter I've head a on and off persistant headache, muscle twitching, feeling hot, little bit of diahrea, and stomach and gut pains.  Can you please tell me what my risks actually where and how worried I should be?

Teak, do you agree that four days is to early to show symptoms of hiv?

3 months post exposure you can obtain a conclusive negative test result.

I can't give you information regarding exact numerical chances, but getting tested is recommended when a condom breaks.

12 weeks will give you a 100% conclusive result.

You should probably test sooner for other STDs.

You would not show any symptoms of HIV at 4 days post exposure.

It's possible you've gotten the flu, a cold or you may have some allergies.

Even more likely is that these symptoms are anxiety based.

Always use latex, polyurethane or polyisoprene condoms.

Not an HIV concern. HIV is not transmitted by oral sex.
