Freaking out: A stripper's nipple and a cracked stingy lip

I was out of state and was drinking with a bunch of buddies. Of course we went to a strip club. I decided to get a lapdance - and my mouth came in contact with the stripper's breast a couple of times for a few seconds. Due to the arid region, I had a cracked lip - a stingy break in skin (I saw the bright red in the crack in the skin of my lip).
I did not taste any blood or breast milk. Under normal circumstances I wouldn't think twice about HIV, but the stripper mentioned going to Mexico to receive medical treatment for something and having talked to a doctor that was also a patron. She then asked "Is that ok?" Being drunk I said "sure" - my big mistake. I came to my senses after the dance and washed my mouth out with listerine in the bathroom about 2 minutes after the incident. She did not specify what she had. I couldn't tell because the place was so dark, but if I were exposed to a wound on her breast then am I at risk? Two days later I get an aphtous sore and now 3 weeks later I am freaking out worrying that I am infected. I am on the internet all the time checking information and I am learning more than I've ever wanted to know about this stuff.
I wouldn't have freaked out or even thought about this whole thing if she hadn't mentioned the medical treatment in Mexico. Looking back it sounded like a disclaimer "hey by the way I have something". So you guys know, prior to writing on this forum I called the CDC and explained my story exactly as I have here. The CDC said that they had no information on this type of infection and that I definitely should get tested and not to put other's at risk etc. etc. Do you think I am putting my family/wife/son at risk? Do you think I need to get tested? I have never done anything else like this in my life and I never will again. I know this is guilt affecting my mind, but I can't stop thinking about symptoms and I think I am affecting my self physically. It's been 3 weeks since that night and week 3 has been a really tough one for me. I have a feeling that this is only going to get tougher. I have a dry mouth, I have aches in my glands/lymphs, but no fever as of yet. I wake up once a night freaking out and thirsty but I am not sweaty. Thanks for your help.

No risk!
Put your energy in other stuff.

It's 2008. How is it that in this day and age people still think this type of thing is considered a risk?

This fear has taken over my life. I saw a doctor that is a family friend and he said that I have a extremely low risk exposure to HIV and to try not to worry. He said that what I have is guilt and if I feel like it I can get tested in a month to settle my mind. He said I had pharyngitis (sore throat) and that's it. He wouldn't feel my lymph nodes. I do feel my lymph nodes (slight pain) bothering me in my neck, armpit and groin. I don't have a fever or a rash. I wake up suddenly feeling hot every morning at about 6 AM - this is unusual for me because I usually oversleep. I am not hungry and it takes effort for me to eat. Exposure will be 4 weeks this Thursday. I am really freaking out.
