hiv help

Look I had a possible exposure 9 days ago.  4 days after exposure I developed a lumpy sore throat more like food is stuck there.  After that I freaked out.  I went online the first thing that popped up was ars. After that I developed mild hot flashes with little sweat.  No fever no cough no drainage. I developed nausea,chest pain-burning, muscle ache on right arms.  I can't tell tell lymph nodes are swollen. I touched all around nothing feels swollen.  I talked to doctor but he said its anxiety.  Help.
