No HIV risk; COVID?: 2-3 days is too soon for HIV symptoms, which don't show up for at least a week; and oral sex almost never transmits HIV. Also, no STD is a frequent cause of sore throat; most oral infections cause no symptoms at all. COVID-19 or a common cold is far more likely and much more important for your health and for testing. Good luck.
