Serious runny nose and sneezing ,symptom of HIV?

20 days ago, I received an unprotected oral sex from a female sex worker. Yesterday, I feel that I got cold, with serious runny nose and sneezing. At beginning, I have no fever, about 36.5-36.8. But after 30 hours, I have a lower fever, about 37.3.
And my question is that whether my symptom is a common cold or the symptom of HIV?  Please give me an advice. Thanks a lot!
Could you please help me. Very scared

No, those are symptoms of the common cold. Since you did not have an exposure to HIV then of course it has nothing to do with HIV.

You had no risk from what you have described. It is the position of the experts who used to post in the doctor's forum here in MedHelp that oral sex is not a risk. If you don't believe me, search the doctor's forum because there are millions of identical posts to yours asking the exact same question and every time they said it was no risk.  Since you had no risk then there is no reason to test.
