Contracting HIV from oral

Hello,

6 weeks ago in mid November i had unprotected oral sex with a guy who's status i do not know. He came in my mouth, but i like to believe i have pretty good dental hygiene. about 1 week after this encounter, i had cold like symptoms: i felt warm (not a fever though), sore throat, some aching muscles etc (finals weeks was also coming up so i was stressed). i began to get paranoid and couldnt get my mind off it. i was tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea but results came back negative. could i have contracted HIV? at the time of the incident i didnt have any canker sores or ulcers in my mouth, but im starting to get them now? im just super paranoid and need to ease my mind. i read that canker sores can also b caused by stress. i didnt have diarrhea, but did experience loose stools (maybe from an antibiotic i used a week before). im just a mess right now.. im also thinking maybe mono?
