HIV Possible through Cunnulingus?

Hello, i have had a one night stand with a girl that i got to know from a party. We got down to action in my house and i had protected vaginal sex. I also gave her oral for like maybe 40 or 50 seconds let us say a minute. After let us say a month i discovered that i had swollen lymf glands in my neck and 2 months later i had a sore throat. My throat dus not hurt but i it's dry and doesn't feel well. Should i go to the doctor and do an HIV test or a test for other STD's as well? No other symptoms i'm wary about atm.

You had no risk and any HIV test would be a waste of time.

HIV is instantly inactivated in air and also in saliva which means it is effectively dead so it can't infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. It doesn't matter if you and they were actively bleeding or had cuts at the time either because the HIV is effectively dead.

Only adult risks are the following:
1. unprotected penetrating vaginal
2. unprotected penetrating anal sex
3. sharing needles that you inject with. Knowing these 3 are all you need to know to protect yourself against HIV. Your situation is a long way from any of these 3.
Even with blood, lactation, cuts, rashes, burns, etc the air or the saliva does not allow inactivated virus to infect from touching, external rubbing or oral activities. The above HIV science is 40 years old and very well established so there is no detail that you can add that will make any of your encounter a risk for HIV.  No one in 40 years of HIV history got HIV from the situation you are concerned about so it is unlikely that it will happen in the next 40 of your lifetime either.
People cough on your lips and door knobs so cold and sore throat are to be expected at any time.
The road to peace is to stop Googling useless HIV symptoms that can't prove anything and stop examining your body cold turkey

here they say no risk for oral in any manner. Get tested for other STDs as they do / might pass by oral and some like herpes hpv even with protected sex. While you get tested add hiv to the mix just for a peace of mind.
