Scared of infection + symptoms

I had protected sex with a matured unknown women. but oral was unprotected, I had around 3 to 4 mouth ulcers while giving oral to her. After 3 days of this event, I got sore throat & cold. The climate here is very very hot in my place, getting cold & sore throat is very shocking. I'm seriously worried. She gave a handjob also, not sure if she had touched her vagina before giving handjob...am i infected with HIV ???. I want to do 4th generation HIV test after 30 days...is it sufficient or should i wait 3 months & do the test ????t.

Thanks alderick84 and AlbertLinares. My mind is little calm after reading the replies.

There is one more doubt which is killing me. please request to clarify.
What is the chances of getting hiv, if the penis has small cut while receiving oral from hiv infected person ??????

I received oral for the first time, it was pain full. my foreskin is very tight, painful when pulled back. when she gave oral, it was not bleeding. but there might have been small cuts which was not visible to naked eye. So what is the chances of getting hiv, if the penis/foreskin has small cut while receiving oral from hiv infected person ??????

What you describe here is not a concern for hiv.
The possibility of getting another STD or STI is but not automatic. You may want to enquire about that in the std forum.

30 days for a non-risk situation is more than enough man, you didnt have to test anyway in the first place, oral sex (unprotected/protected whatever), handjobs, footjobs are not risks for HIV, you are fine.

Hello, what you describe doesn't sound like a risk event to me. There are no reported cases of people getting HIV by oral sex, even in presence of small injuries.

ARS symptoms are present in many other illnesses, and some times they didn't even show up, that's why they're not used to diagnose a posible HIV infection.When ARS symptoms show up they do it between 2 - 6 weeks after exposure. There is no way you symptoms after 3 days are ARS.

If for your peace of mind you want to get tested, a 4th gen test four weeks after exposure would give you an excellent indicator about your status, almost as good as conclusive.
