Please help - risk assessment!
I'm a 39 year old, married male. I've been married to my wife for approx. 6 years and have been faithful and tested negative for HIV in July, 2007. Last month (early October) I visited Chicago for a business trip and while I was there I sowed some oats. Specifically, I preformed oral sex on a female sex worker (and then had safe, penetrative sex with a condom.) I then met up on two seperate occassions with men who I met on Craigslist for some oral. I did not allow the men to cum in my mouth, only in my *** with a condom on, so I was only exposed to their pre-cum in my mouth.
Those three encounters occurred in the span of three days, and it's been a month and I've been worrying myself sick that I've just ruined my life because of my craving for lust. I've been told that oral has a pretty low risk for contraction but I just can't seem to stop worrying. I called my local clinic about getting a rapid test (finger prick blood) and they said I should wait until at least 2 months. I don't know if I can keep my sanity for another month. Please help - thanks.
