Hi dear
Even though promiscuous sex with sex workers carrya a high risk of HIV transmission, it is not necessary to get HIV infection always.
Also, the earliest symptoms of hiv appear only after 6-8weeks of exposure. ( even though the first symptoms will be some what similar as you described)
So don't worry
But since you had a high risk sex, you should undergo HIV screening.
For that, consult your doctor.
Also avoid these kind of high risk behaviour in future
Thank you
