oral from a worker should I be worried?

I would like to know other peoples opinions, I received unprotected oral sex off a Japanese worker in a massage parlour, since this mistake two weeks ago i have thrush on my penis and on-going ulcers in my mouth, is that an early sign of my immune system going down from a HIV attack? Should i be worried about gaining this infection? Does anyone know about any one catching HIV from oral sex?

There has never been a DOCUMENTED case of HIV transmission from receiving a blowjob. If you want to assess your risk, think of all the blowjobs received on a daily basis worldwide, and the reality that there are no documented cases of HIV transmission.

People working on helplines are often using outdated manuals. Your risk was non-existent. Relax:)

Thanks for the quick reply, although other people have asked similar questions and had the same answer but i am still worried. I have spoke to some people on these HIV helplines in the UK and they have said " You had unprotected Sex, you are a high risk" Do i believe them?
