Can someone help ease my fears about HIV?

this may seem irrational but it is honestly consuming my mind. I have been unwell for two months now...constantly ill which actually started two days after I slept with someone, protected vaginal sex but STUPIDLY not oral. I am well aware I am an absolute idiot for that so please no mean comments as I'm already so worried about my health. Doctors have said bloods need to be done but there personal opinion is that I likely have CFS after tonsillitis which started two days after I had sex with someone (probably unrelated there I know) but ever since I have just been so so run down, stressed with work, just incredibly sick. I have not felt normal since having tonsillitis honestly, I feel hot and cold all the time, weak, sick...the lot. I am always so careful when it comes to sex and feel sick to my stomach that I allowed myself to be so stupid and give unprotected oral sex. Can anyone please ease my fears as honestly it is driving me mad...I can't get tested until next week (I have already had the swabs for sti's done that was fine) I have read online it is rare to catch through oral but is a possibility, that small possibility is really, really scaring me, when I take my temp when I feel hot it is normal, so it's just the flushes I am getting more than anything but I don't know, I'm just really going through it recently, I will also add that me and the guy no longer speak, it was a one night stand but we was chatting a lot beforehand..After he ghosted me and I did ask when he last got checked but he did not respond to me, I think the fact he didn't respond is now also fueling my fears that he could have had something... he was the one who got the condom out aswell so I don't think he is a regular non condom user, but I don't know, my mind is in overdrive honestly.

Please tell me this is not the same OP who started a thread not all that long ago about a sore throat after oral 😳

That’s what I thought, but she says not.

op if it is, I think health anxiety is at play here.

@littlethingsmeanalot I have not posted about this before, I'm not sure why people keep saying it...🤣 honestly I'm usually a very healthy person, there's never anything up with me and I'm not a regular at the doctors either (avoid them if anything, hate that place) but truly that's how I know something is up, I'm never sick!

I'm getting the same vibes as the OP of the other post I read tbh.

@thickskinnedsowhat, respectfully, please go away. I have not posted anything like this before, I didn't even have an account until a few months ago. I just joined for advice regarding my symptoms as I've been sick for so long now, I thought this was an app where people could come for advice?
