It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Risk of HIV is low. You may get a 4th gen combo test at 6 weeks after exposure. Your symptoms are likely due to something else. If your symptoms persist, it would be prudent to see a doctor.. Wish you good health!
