Please help I'm scared of catching HIV

Hello, about 6 weeks ago I recieved unprotected oral sex from a guy who i met on the Internet.  I don't know his health status he is 50 and has quite a sexual appetite.

Ive never been with a guy before, normally I stick with women and this was my first time with a guy.  

So as days and weeks have give by Ive been getting these symptoms.  Loss of appetite, sore throat, sore ears, dry mouth, white film on my tongue, (my tongue in geneal just hasn't felt normal) my cheeks are sore on occasions, sore teeth, headaches, body aches, cloudy vision and tired alot of the time.

I have read that HIV from oral is a negligible risk but im scared that ill be the first person to catch it this way....

I have a girlfriend that I've been with for a long time and I don't want to pass anything onto her.  I know im a jerk for what I've done and I have a lot of guilt....

As I have said all these symptoms are causing me to worry.  I don't know what to do.  

Thank you

Nope. You will not be the first person to catch hiv through oral sex. Oral sex is no risk for hiv transmission. Get a doctor to look at your ailments. Its not hiv.
