Spraying the urethra with warm water
Dear expert. My risk exposure was to have unprotected oral sex and to have vaginal sex using condoms with sex workers. Oral sex only lasts about 1-3 minutes, and vaginal sex only ranges from 1-3. After finishing I washed my penis with soap and warm water, after which I rinsed cleanly, after the foam disappeared stupidly I sprayed warm water into the urethra for about a few seconds. Am I at risk for HIV? Two weeks after the incident I had a sore throat and flu.
Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air (maybe blood, maybe cuts anywhere, mouth, lips, saliva, etc. ) . You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are ONLY 3 ways to get hiv. Note that 2 of them require a penis and the third requires a hollow injecting shared needle - there are no OTHER ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
Hiv is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you ANSWER "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure to live virus.
If you still have questions about your risk, after reading all of the above, then it is because you didn't answer the QUESTION above.
Since hiv is dead in air, there is no reason to wash dead virus off - because dead hiv dead cannot live again.
You can't get hiv when you use a condom.
It's not surprising that you got Covid or flu and sore throat - just about everyone on this planet who doesn't wear a mask should expect to get them. Move on from hiv fears, because guilt does not cause disease.

According to your assessment, should I get tested for HIV? Because lately my tongue has turned white and the lymph nodes of my neck and armpits are painful and swollen.
Stop poking and irritating your "lymph" if that is what you are poking, since you don't know what lymph are supposed to feel like.
Your response indicates you didn't answer the QUESTION, so here's the answer. No, there wasn't a penis in my anus and she didn't inject me so I had zero risk and should stop asking pointless questions about testing (that have already been answered multiple times, btw.)

Thanks for the answer. God bless
