one encounter and I am miserable

Hi all,
On December 14th 2012, I went to a strip club and one of the strippers (looked to be in her 40s) allowed me some favours. She allowed me to touch, lick and suck her nipples for some time (total 1 minute in episodes of few seconds every time). I also touched her vagina (from over the panties for not more than 5-6 seconds and from over the panties only). She did kiss me on the lips but it was from miles away. It was like her lips just barely touching my lips.
On 18th Jaunuary, I started feeling my body to be a little hot for 2 weeks. I saw a strange lump on my chest that went away on 2-3 days. I had rash on the back of my hand that is also gone now. Worse of all, my fatigue started getting really worse starting 1st Jan 2013 (around that time) and now I feel hot, am very tired and feel the need to sleep all the time FOR THE PAST 3 WEEKS.
Its worsening every day.
I am trying to hide it from my wife and have not had sex with her.
Can you please help me understand what is happening to me.
Is it HIV?
I have never felt this tired as in last 3 weeks and its worsening. My fever is also very prominent now.
Please do help me understand if this can be HIV - I did not do anything else with that lady but as I said, she was an old lady desperate for money and I had never seen her on that strip club earlier.

Please help me as the symptoms are scaring the hell out of me.
Please do help me.

thanks again Joggen, really appreciate your comments.
I did not mean disrespect in any way when asking for others' comments.
Also, I completely agree that there are hundreds of such posts that I have seen on this and other forums around the same activity that I am doubtful about (sucking on stripper's nipples). My only worry was about the symptoms and they may rightly be attributed to anxiety and fear.

Thanks much again for taking time out to write back. Means a lot.

Look, I've been on HIV forums for 5+ years and I've seen your post replicated hundreds or even thousands of times. It's an HIV Anxiety Syndrome that is fueled by various factors such as the internet, cultural sterotypes about sex workers and strippers, cultural sexual repression, misinformation about HIV, guilt, etc. You're no different than anyone else I've seen on here and everyone tests negative and their symptoms magically go away. I had the same problem and got over it so that's why I'm here.

I will follow up with a doctor.

Anyone else, if can comment on my symptoms, if you have experienced similar symptoms, please let me know.

I will really appreciate others' comments too on similar experiences / expertise.

See a doctor if you have symptoms that concern you. This forum, or any other  internet forum for that matter, cannot address your symptoms. All we can tell you is that they have nothing to do with HIV.

thanks Joggen, yeah, it was just one time and sucking the nipples of a relatively old lady. But what is it that I am coming down with then? And that too big time!!!! My eyes are burning, feel hot and am hot in the body and am always tired for the past 3 weeks.

And all that I mentioned above in the first post, are they not symptoms of HIV besides all this tiredness and fever kind of symptoms?

Kindly reply,
I want to believe that a one time encounter at a strip club of passionately sucking nipples cannot cause HIV but my body is not allowing me to belive that.

Kindly reply,

Since you did not have unprotected sex with the stripper you do not have an HIV concern.
