Brief Answer:
Relation to HIV very unlikely.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM. I have gone through your query and understand the concern you are worried about but need to know more about the incidence.
You had sex with a prostitute but more important is whether the protection was used or not. If it is protected then nothing to worry because there is no risk.
Even though it was unprotected, fever for 30 minutes and small swelling on left side of neck after one month of exposure are not related to HIV.
The best way to confirm is to get tested for HIV. So be relaxed and go for the test which will clear all your doubts and allay the fear or anxiety related to HIV.
Hope this info will help you. For any further query you can get back to me again any time. Wishing you happy and healthy life ahead without any stress.
Thank You
