HIV Risk and Window
Had sex with a sex worker back in Early December of 2014..I know I received unprotected oral sex...I honestly can't remember if there was any unprotected vaginal sex, if there was it was literally for 10 seconds but even then I can't be for sure that there was. Usually have a good memory but I just can't recall, however I do know that 99% of the vaginal sex was protected. Didn't think anything of it and was fine for a little over 4 months.
In mid April I had a fever and slight sore throat that turned into just a cough and runny nose and lasted about 3 to 4 days. I still didn't think anything of it as it came and went and I felt 100%, working out, running, swimming, felt as heathy as can be.
July 10th I had sex with another sex worker fully protected from oral to vaginal. I have been assured that I could not have contracted HIV from her.
I've had severe anxiety since July 14th about it which all started from a slight irritation I had In the tip of my Penis that started after swimming on the 14th and went away after a little over 24 hours. However within that 24 hours I convinced myself that I was screwed and started feeling neck tightness which has caused large spikes in my blood pressure and some migraines and hot flashes, but I have not had any sore throat or sustained periods of being hot, in fact there are points in time where I feel fine.
Should I be concerned about my occurrence back in December of 2014 based upon the time log and events that have taken place?

Is is the length of time between the incident and feeling sick that receives the resounding no?
