Welcome to HCM. Enlargement of tonsils, and Tonsillitis is a very common condition for everybody. Especially it is quite common with oral sex. We can not label anybody with these symptoms as HIV manifestation. Moreover earliest HIV manifestation can occur only after 3-4 weeks of risky contact, not after 4 days. Cigarette smoking is also a risk factor for Tonsillitis.
The risk of HIV transmission through oral sex with a girl is very low only. A HIV screening test will alleviate your tension. Get well soon. DR S.Murugan
