ARS Symptoms - Very Scared

Hi everyone...........I recently made the worst mistake of my life..........A litlle more than a week ago, (June 1) I had sex with 2 prostitutes while travelling around East Asia,  in Beijing, China......But I did not have sex with them at the same time...........I had sex with one of them at midnight, while I had sex with the other one about 12 hours later.............I used protection (condoms) both times........I had vaginal intercourse with the first prostitute for a very long time (20 minutes)...........I also fingered her for about 1 minute........I also did cunningulus on her for about 1 minute with no type of protection......When I "came" the first time I did not change the condom........Also, while having vaginal intercourse, the condom partially slipped off, although the tip of my penis was never uncovered (as far as I remember)............I pulled it back off and continued for a while........
With the second prostitute, I had a lot of protected oral sex (I was the one receiving it) and a brief vaginal intercourse (1 minute) with another condom (I had learnt the lesson but maybe just too late)..............
Four days later, that is Saturday morning, I felt something weird in my throat...................I had read somewhere that a sore throat was an HIV symptom so I inmediatelly started looking up in the internet for more symptoms..........Turns out that for that day, I felt very tired, anxious, lost my appetite, experienced a lot of temperature changes (hot flashes), weakness while my throat hurt even more.........(This is actually my version, I don't know if not browsing on the internet for HIV symptoms would have made a difference anyway)
The next day, I was feeling even worse and I also had night sweats the night before...........
I've been feeling that way ever since, having night sweats everynight............ I feel like my lymph nodes in the neck have swollen (not sure about that) I have also developed a very tight neck and my tongue is white in the back................I'm not sure if I have had fever...............I feel very hot cheeks everytime, and I sweat a lot.........I'm very scared............I had never been with prostitutes before in my life........Moreover, I had never had sex before............Paying for sex is something I wouldn't have normally done........I'm very stressed out, and I keep feeling all the symptoms.........I know anxiety can cause some of them, but everytime I go to bed I keep saying to myself "You are OK" and nonetheless I wake up with my clothes soaked in the neck................I do not what to do anymore, I truly wish my symptoms were anxiety related, but it seems that they are ARS/HIV related instead............I also have a runny nose and some coughing (which does not seem to be ARS related).....However, I think I may have induced these symptoms by deliberately exposing myself to sudden temperature changes and to A/C for extended periods of time..............
I cannot believe this is happening to me.........I ruined what otherwise would have been a very happy peaceful life with some actions that I took when I was just not thinking right (I was not drunk, but I was somewhat sad and feeling lonely)....I'm SCARED........I do not want to be there when my parents find out!!!!! This will hurt them so much!!!!!!! I feel I have disappointed everyone that believed in me.............I may take my life if my I turn out to be HIV positive...............I wish I could just go back in time and make the right choices at the right time..................

Could somebody tell me if they have felt exactly the same way? Have they gotten all of the symptoms I describe and yet turned out HIV negative? Can stress and anxiety cause them all? How much at risk was I? Can ARS symptoms develop that quickly? When should I get tested?

Move on. At no time were you ever at risk of contracting HIV.

But what about the symptoms?? There's just too much coincidence.........And also, I licked both CSW's breasts for a while........Don't know nor felt any kind of milk or anything though.......I'm scared!!! I can't assess nor look at the facts objectively anymore!!!

Well guys, I  just took the test @ 11 weeks.......I think it should be conclusive, even if it is 1 week earlier than the recommended guidelines.......I'll be getting the results on Tuesday......
Assessing the situation objectively, I certainly have very low chances of infection......However, the symptoms that I've experienced during the past 3 months really make me think twice.....I can assure you people that they all have been very real..........
Fingers crossed everything turns out well and I can finally MOVE ON......

[LIZZIE LOU]

spare us the details...YOU WERE NEVER AT RISK.

[dieperdon87]

Well I got my test results.....
They read "NON REACTIVE" and 0.50

I know non reactive means negative but what does that 0.50 mean?

I guess, unless that 0.50 means something, I'll finally be able to move on!!! I'm very relieved!!!
Thank you (Teak, Lizzie Lou)  for all your advice!!! And I really want to apologize for bugging you guys so much!!! I think I learnt a lesson or two from this ordeal!!

[dieperdon87]

I'm sorry, the test result read 0.050, not 0.50

[dieperdon87]

I'm not glad to come back here, but I'm very scared again..........
Soon after getting my 11 week HIV negative test result, my life went back to normal.....
However, about a month ago I noticed a small pimple in my neck.....Then I developed an awful form of athlete's foot in my left foot, with several red pimples.....It was truly disgusting.....Also, I often have cuts in the corners of my bottom lip............
Given that I had sex (vaginal protected and oral unprotected) with 2 CSWs after my june 1st episode (the first being on July 22nd and the second being on August 5th), isn't possible that I may have still contracted HIV?
I'm terribly worried again........I found some internet pages which show pimples exactly like mine being caused by HIV infection........This is driving me crazy.....

[LIZZIE LOU]

MOVE ON

[dieperdon87]

Could it be some other kind of STD?

[Teak]

You didn't have a risk of contracting HIV and you have been advised of it several times. MOVE ON.

[dieperdon87]

Thank you very much Teak..........
But Why the @#$% do I keep getting these symptoms???
This must be some kind of bad and cruel joke..........
