Stop trying to post anxiety-driven follow-up comments. Once more and I will delete the entire thread.
he isn't going to change his mind today from a month ago. he said it was no risk. he also said he wouldn't have any further comments also. guess what that means. thats right! No further comments! You didn't have a risk. If you still have fears, asking someone if you should test doesn't make sense. You should just test to ease your fears. Although you don't need it.
Sir- I am feeling extremely tired from the inciident that has occured 37 days ago. The body pains are never leaving and my head always heavy. I stopped thinking of the exposure but the pains never going off. should i go for testing after 1 week as it would be my 6.5 weeks..I was reading- The ARS symptoms and it was saying Fatigue for more than 3-4 wks is HIV. Too much stressed Sir----
"From a risk assessment perspective, you don't need HIV testing." I think that says it all. You had protected sex. You do not have HIV.
Certainly anxiety could produce the symptoms you describe. My guess would be that your feelings and anxiety about sex are the only issue here. Please do consider counseling. I'd also suggest talking to your doctor about medication, especially if you find that you experience similar anxiety in other areas of your life.

HIV does not cause such symptoms. They sound like the physical manifestations of anxiety, nothing more. I have no additional comments and will delete any further comments from you or others.
Doc--Plz PLz Plz help me for the last time.
As i said you my exposure, I had bit sore throat just 2 days after exposure. I dont know whether it was actually sore throat as i have never been to it before. I drank dome whisky and the throat been normal after 4-5 days. Then i startted feeling Yawing, Tired, too much sleepy- I dont know why(Never happened before).

I havent got any fever, cold, swollen lymp nodes--(as its still 21st day till now). Plz Plz Plz Help Me
Thanx Doctor. I was really depressed morally for what i have done and shall not commit mistake in rear future. I take your advice and try to be as cultured as i can. I shall not take test as per your confidence on my case.
You used condoms properly and effectively. There is no realistic risk of acquiring HIV from the exposure events you describe. Condoms are completely protective for vaginal sex, and even without a condom receiving oral sex is zero risk or close to zero, even if the sex worker has HIV--which, statistically speaking, is unlikely.
From a risk assessment perspective, you don't need HIV testing. Do you think every sexually active person runs out for an HIV test after every episode of protected sex? Obivously not, if you think about it. But probably my reassurance won't settle your fears. If that is the case, have an HIV test 6 weeks after the event. You can be sure of a negative result.
You are in charge of your own sexual morality, so I don't have any comment about your sense of guilt. But as you surely are aware, in most cultures in most of the world, having non-marital sex--whether with a commercial sex worker or anyone else--would not be viewed as a great moral lapse.
