Oral Sex - Scared

I've been reading this forum recently and have seen several posts that relate to what I've been going through, so this may be kind of redundant...I'm a young woman and had a one time encounter with a guy my age. We had oral sex (me performing) without a condom. He may have had pre-*** but I'm not sure. I do know that he did not ejaculate. We also had protected vaginal sex. This was about 2-3 weeks ago and I had my 2 wisdom teeth removed in the middle of May, and everything was pretty much healed by that point. A couple of days later, I got this horrible sore throat and fever (with white spots all over my tonsils) but no runny nose or cough. The doctor just said it was tonsilitis or something. I know a couple of days is too soon for ARS symptoms to show up. The doc gave me antibiotics and the sore throat and fever went away (granted I only had the fever for a day). About 4 days later, I got this runny nose, sore throat again (I'm telling myself for my own good that it was just drainage or something), and a dry cough. I have asthma too, which made the cough worse. A week and a half later, I still have this sore throat and occasional cough. I looked at my throat and there was one spot, not white, on my tonsil.

I think I'm just over-analyzing what I'm feeling and creating the symptoms in my head. I think the only reason I'm posting is for some reassurance and information that can tell me I have pretty much nothing to worry about from people who know and have experienced similar things to what I'm going through...Thanks so much for your help, if you choose to provide it.

You did not have a risk here, you don't need to test.

Practically, it is very very difficult ,one needs to have a real ****** up oral condition for contracting HIV from oral sex.

Huge amount of blood has to be present for any risk

Severe wounds / poor gum conditions should be present

I really doubt some one with so screwed up oral condition or seeing / bleeding substantial amount of blood would perform /receive oral sex.

Hence, oral sex is no risk.

you had protected sex an nothing to worry about.

Your symptoms are in no relation to HIV
