Aa
**** scared !!!
Hi Doc,
I engaged in protected vaginal sex and unprotected oral sex with a sex worker in thailand exactly one month ago. I also would have briefly fingered the sex worker. A few days after I started getting headaches and a mild fever and a few mouth ulcers. After a few days this dissappeared and then about a week later I got the headaches along with a fever upto about 101.5F. The headaches dissappeared and I had a fever for about 1 week with body aches and joint pains. Now I feel fine but Im really paranoid that I have got HIV.. Its been 4 weeks after sexual contact. I got myself a ELISA test yesterday and am waiting for my results which come in tommorow. Is 4 weeks too early ?? And what is my risk level ??
