Hello XXXXXXX
I can understand your concern, well to begin with from the history that you have told me it does look like that you might have contacted a fungal or bacterial infection, the white spots you have mentioned do suggest more towards a fungal cause.
However it is nothing serious and a course of antibiotics will cure you completely.
You do however should go in for your check-up where a throat culture would be done to find the exact cause and specific antibiotics would be prescribed to you.
I will be available to answer your follow up queries as well.
Take care

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for the reply.
I think you are too anxious about it. The chance of transmitting HIV through an Oral sex is extremely minimal. No such experiences reported by the experienced physicians during their clinical practice.
The HIV symptoms do not reflect so early in a person within 36 hours of act. So again, not going in favor of HIV.
A simple check with a primary doctor near your area, getting an antibiotic prophylaxis will save you from other STD infections and HIV as well.
Remember not to have unprotected sex with strangers, take it on a lession as it can worsen your anxiety after the act.
Wish you Good Health.
