Brief Answer:
Negligible chance of HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query at HCM.
I understand your concern and situation.
No highly unlikely for HIV infection as per your case history. As the sex was protected and no oral sex there is no risk of HIV infection. You need not worry. But for your psychological advantage get Chlamydia, HSV 1 & 2, VDRL test done. It appears to be seasonal viral infection. You can take HIV test at 12 weeks post exposure only for your psychological benefit.
Take care

Hi
It could possibly be viral infection with secondary bacterial infection. Amoxicillin clavulanic 625 mg thrice for 2 weeks. If swelling does not regress then FNAC advised to rule out tuberculosis.
