Is it anyway possible for HPV to cause cancer 3-4 days after exposure?

I would be very thankful if anyone could help..
So, 3 weeks ago i gave oral to my bf, no condom. 2 days after my throat started to feel sore, and 3-4 days after the exposure my right tonsil was swollen (and the left one, but not nearly as bad) and my lymph nodes started to swell. 1 week after the exposure i got fever, coudnt eat because of swollen tonsils and started taking antibiotics prescribed by a doctor.
they did help in a way, but 10 days after taking the first one i stopped. 3 weeks after the exposure, my throat is still red, lymph nodes and tonsils are still a bit swollen and i have some sort of dry cough occasionally.
My question is: could this be HPV related? How long does it take for throat cancer to develop after HPV exposure?

Please, I am really scared. Thank you.

coincidence most likely.

you get viral infections from kissing as well as from breathing within 3 feet of someone.

since you didn't get full testing, it's something you and your partner should seek out so you know if you have to worry or not in the future!!  don't risk your future fertility by not having full std testing with partners especially if you are going to engage in unprotected contact!

absolutely no reason to think that this is std related at all!!!

did you and your bf have full std testing prior to starting to have unprotected sexual contact together?

this sounds like a viral upper respiratory infection as are very common this time of the year.
