Anxious about HIV infection
I was trying to add more detail about my last question and accidentally press the best answer button and was unable to cancel that. Fearing that people might think that the question was answered and ended up not checking it, I am reposting my question one more time. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Helo there, I am male, from Indonesia, so my apologies for the possible bad english.
I am virgin, so I never had any sexual encounter other than me masturbating.
A few month ago, I dont know what came to me, but I step into a erotic massage parlour and receive their service.
I receive unprotected oral sex for a 10 or so second before she wipe it using a baby wet tissue while spitting out her saliva, this continue 2-4 times before she put on a condom on me. May be due to anxiousness I was unable to ejaculate. She then handjob me which in the end I still was unable to ejaculate and we ended it there.
After that exposure I was very worried about HIV and all... what should I do if I am infected.
A few weeks after the exposure I was nervously checking my temperature from time to time. I am feeling chills, I felt muscle soreness on my neck, my jaw, and also around my buttock that was something that I never had before. At one time around 3 weeks after exposure, I was unable to sleep and ended up having a mild fever of 38C from rectum reading. Though it was only for a few hour only then it return to normal around a few hours later after taking paracetamol.
It's now nearly 3 month after my exposure and the anxiety and nervousness is literally killing me.
Now the questions?
1. What are my risk? With my
2. Have anyone ever got infected from receiving oral sex? I read about infection from giving oral sex though.
3. Do I need to go get a test? If so what the timing to get test?
4. How often do people get acute HIV infection symptoms, you know fever and all those stuff at 2-4 weeks after exposure.
I do hope you guys can answered my questions one by one.
Thank beforehand for answering my questions.

"I do hope you guys can answer my questions one by one." The word ONLY in the advice presents an insurmountable roadblock to your idea that there are numerous parts of a puzzle to study. hiv prevention is straightforward. So reread the advice.

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.
NOTHING else you can think of would put you at risk for HIV, including the events you mentioned. You had zero risk and there is no need to test for this event. No one has ever contracted HIV from receiving oral sex.
Whatever caused the medical issues you mentioned has nothing to do with HIV.
