Hiv exposure? ARS symptoms?

Friday night (Saturday morning) I stupidly went into the back room with a stripper where I proceeded to finger her vagina and anus, and I did lick my finger for added lubrication once or twice. Then I proceeded to lick the outside of her ass for a second or two - it was fully cleaned out. She never touched me and we did not have sex.

Normally I’d consider this low risk but on Sunday or Monday (2-3 days later) I developed a sore throat bad enough to warrant a Covid test. Two days after that the fever started that I haven’t been able to shake for 4 days. The tonsillitis has gotten so bad I can’t eat anything but Jello. I’m absolutely freaking out and assuming that I have HIV. Can someone please help me? Is 2-3 days after exposure absolutely impossible for seroconversion to start? My anxiety is off the charts.

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected anal or vaginal sex, or
2) sharing intravenous needles with IV drug users.

You cannot get HIV from anyone's hands or fingers - not your hands/fingers, not anyone else's hands/fingers, even if those hands/fingers have cuts or scrapes on them. The same goes for your tongue.

If in doubt, re-read items 1 and 2 listed above.

You had ZERO RISK for HIV.  There is no information you could add to this event that would make it a risk for HIV. You don't need to test for anything.

The risks for HIV are very simple and clear which is to have unprotected vaginal or anal sex or to share IV needles to inject drugs. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. You had zero risk
