Hi
Your current problems may not be of HIV, because initial symptoms of HIV will appear only after 6-8weeks.
Even oral sex can spread HIV, though less chance when compared to natural sex because every body fluids including saliva may contain HIV virus in am HIV infected patient.
At present, even if you have acquired HIV virus (chance is less even though) test won't give a proper reliable results.
Get tested after 6-8 weeks
Avoid high risk behaviour in future
All the best
Thank you
