We do not diagnose HIV by symptoms. We only look at risk.
Oral sex (both giving and receiving) carries an EXTREMELY low risk of HIV transmission.
The stats we use for unprotected oral sex is .5 to 1 per 10,000 exposures with a source KNOWN to carry the virus. Your risk would be less since it appears you cannot confirm her status.
Viral load tests after three weeks are an incredible waste of money for something as minor as oral sex.
Sleep better and if you remain concerned get a screening test at 3 months. It will undoubtedly be negative from this event.

Why do you believe a man performing oral on a woman has a higher risk than a woman performing oral on a man?
Since the virus would be found in sexual fluids...and a male would produce more sexual fluids at orgasm than a female, the exact opposite would be true. The risk would be higher for someone performing oral on a male than for someone performing oral on a female.
Still, the statistical risk I posted (.5 to 1 per 10,000 exposures with a source KNOWN to carry the virus) remains the same.
And, as has been previously mentioned many times, we do not diagnose HIV by symptoms, only by risk and test results.
Testing after 3 weeks would not be considered conclusive.
It is up to you to decide whether you need to spend very large amounts of money for P24, DNA/RNA, Viral load testing for what is essentially, a non-risk event.

Stop observing every inch of your body for symptoms and focus what I have written several times over in regards to the risk from unprotected oral sex.
It is so slight (READ AGAIN..... .5 TO 1 PER 10,000 EXPOSURES WITH A SOURCE KNOWN TO CARRY THE VIRUS) that there is no reason to obsess over this.
You are a married man who has stepped out of his marriage. What you are feeling is guilt over this and this guilt is making you believe you "deserve" to become infected after this encounter.
The disease does not work this way. The risk of transmission remains the same from oral sex whether one is married or single.

This is cold and flu season, having a sore throat is not out of the ordinary. I agree with Gail, sounds like your quilty conscience is getting the better of you.

Testing for this non-risk event? Yes, it would be conclusive as to your negative status.
Attached is a good article that discusses the various HIV testing methods:
http://www.webmd.com/hiv-aids/hiv-aids-screening
While we do not believe testing is not needed in this case, it is likely you will not let this concern rest and will not stop focusing on "symptoms" until you throw tons of money at health professionals to get totally unneeded testing that clearly shows this event did not leave you infected. However, you would not be the first person to require this testing to be able to put this fear behind you.
Good luck...
