Brief Answer:
I don't think it is related to HIV, it is just because of some infection.

Dear XXXXXXX XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
You had protected sex at massage parlour so I don't think your symptoms are related to HIV.
You had also consulted to ENT specialist and they mentioned about tonsils enlargement. Most probably it may be related to local infection not related to HIV. So be relaxed and follow instructions suggested by ENT surgeon. You need not be worried about HIV.
Thank You

Always It doesn't mean HIV if you had swollen lymph nodes in neck, it might be due to some other infection also.
As far as oral blow job is concerned, the risk of getting HIV from oral sex is very low and also the girl had not any medical issues so no need to worry.
