Can HIV be transmitted through orally?

my story: About 3 months ago, i was with a prostitute. she performed protected (with condom) oral on me and i performed unprotected oral on her(cunnilingus).After 35 days i  did a CMIA (antibody) test and the result was non reactive.But after 6 weeks (to be exact 48 day from the initial exposure) from the exposure, symptoms of hiv began to show.
symptoms are:1.high fever
                      2.sore throat
                      3.mouth ulcer
                      4.diarrhea
                      5.night seats
from my cbc blood test:the WBC count were high(between 16000 and 17000) and elevated crp level.My doctor gave me antibiotics and all these symptoms went away within 6 days.
My questions are:
1>what are the odds of being infected with hiv (with mouth sores or light cracks in
     mouth)?
2>had you ever seen a person got this disease through the same way(unprotected
    cunnilingus given to a women)?
3>can seroconversion occur after 6 weeks?
4>how accurate is an antibody(CMIA) test at the 35th day?
please answer, now i am having burning sensation in my feet and hands and dry skin.

As you never had a risk for HIV, this is not an HIV concern.  As our members have stated, you had no risk.

It has nothing to do with you because you were never exposed to HIV. If you're unable to accept this fact, please seek counseling as this is the limit of the help that can be provided to you here.

Sorry to disturbe you again but I have few more doubts.
1- is burning sensation in hands and feet is  a symptom of hiv
2-is dry skin  a symptom of hiv
3-you are saying there is no risk but the CDC is still saying that there is a risk ( although it is very low).why there is a conflicting idea about oral sex and hiv?
Answer to each question please

We are  under no obligation to answer each question, and the first two are irrelevant since you do not have HIV.
The  CDC is very conservative, and they list theoretical risks that have never presented clinically - including the theoretical risk from oral sex.

You're beating a dead horse.  You didn't have a risk.

How accurate is the cmia HIV antibody test at 5th week?

You had no risk. Since you were never exposed and there is no exposure date, there is no conclusive timeframe. You can take a test anytime and it will be negative. There is no time in the future when it will be conclusive because there is no start date.

Here's the good news, you had no risk by either receiving oral (protected or unprotected) or giving oral (protected or unprotected).  Oral sex does not transmit the virus as air and saliva render the virus inactive.  In all of the years that they have known about, researched and studied the HIV virus, there has not been a single documented, proven case in which oral sex was the true means of transmission.  This is why your hiv tests are NEGATIVE.  You had zero risk.  You did not get HIV.  This and any test you take because you had given to you or gave to someone else oral sex will always be negative.  because you won't get HIV that way.  The only way adults get HIV is from unprotected vaginal or anal penetrating sex or sharing IV drug needles. That is it.  Your perceived symptoms are not related to HIV and some may actually be induced by stress. This really does happen.  But HIV is off the table as a source of your problems.

But the CDC is still saying that it possible(although chances are very low) and some reported cases were also there to prove this.
