Cialis + Drink + flu infected sexworker +broken condom = need desperate help

Hello to all,

before posting this question i did some reasearch and i find i am not the only one who is posting this question, but i have a bit of different situation here.
yesterday night me and my friend got two paid sex workers (i know i did wrong and i am crying now) i took one tablet of Cialis and drink quite good amount as well.It was one on one sexual encounter, she gave me oral( blowjob unprotected) no french kiss, no exchange of salvia, in the middle of the intercourse when i stroke in i felt the condom is broke( i wore two condoms) i withdraw it the second i realised, i guess the exposure maximum last 5 seconds( i was on top)...nothing more then that...and no ejeculation or orgasm made at that time....i put on new condom (again two condoms) and finish the session...
to mention again she were having flu...when i sit with her,after 1 hour i start feeling that i got some flu as well,...anyhow all done..
when i wake up in morning the first thing i got in my mind was that little exposure...now i am scared to death of the HIV infection...thinking since morning for every damn second...its exactly now 18 hours for the incident...i am feeling light fever since morning and the more i think...the more i am getting it...
what are my chances that i took an infection or any other STD...i got some little itching all arround my body...without any rash or sever itching...may be its just my mind is thinking too much...the more i am reading on this topic the more worst its getting for me...
PLEASE HELP ME...do HIV infection get symptons that quickly like fever and flu?? within 12 hours even??? or any other STD....help me please (not to forgot i am heavy smoker as well)

Hey Zain, I don't knw abt other STD's but as far as HIV is concerned the answer is a resounding "NO". It simply doesn't. The first stage of infection carries no symptoms. So stop worrying and reading online, if you do, you'll find tht you have everythng that they say. Relax.
On tht point, using two Condoms is not very good practice, it causes friction and tht causes Condoms to fail, as clearly demonstrated in your 'situation'. One Condom tht hase been stored properly and used in the right manner is enough to protect you.

the purpose of this forum:

"If you believe you have been exposed to HIV and want help to judge your risk, would like advice about HIV testing, or have questions about the effectiveness of condoms or risks associated with specific sexual practices, this is the site for you."

this post already has 50 + comments / replies.  you have 3 months to go ! ! !

you were advised that you risk was minimal...almost non existant...yet you chose to go on PEP.  now you have three months of waiting.  please dont come back to the forum every time you have an ache or a pain...SYMPTOMS DONT DIAGOSE HIV.

if you will read back through this post...you have also been told that IF someone experiences symptoms of early infection...that those symptoms come at 2-4 WEEKS after infection.  these symptoms will last for 1-2 WEEKS.  with that being said...the mind is a powerful thing.  i cant GUARANTEE you that if you stay on the internet reading about symptoms...you will create every symptom that you read about.  if i told you right now...that a symptom of infection was the 3rd toe on your left foot would start throbbing...within hours your toe would start throbbing.

you started pep...you test at 3 months post exposure.

there is a community forum here on medhelp for ppl who are suffering from hiv anxiety.  a link is provided in the bottom right hand corner of this page.

islamabad (they will do it for free)
shaukat kahnam (LHR)
Agha khan (KHI)

man pimps islamabad doctor were so helpfull...she gave me her personal number and offer all sort of assistant and mentally prepared me for PEP side effects..she also talked to the doctor in shukat kahnam lahore as well who saw me.....the goverment hospital sucks big time as usual...they didnot even bother listening to me and i thought i have to rush to islamabad for PEP(more time waste)...but shaukat kahnam did it for me...also pimps hospital islamabad said that if i can come there ...they will do all the testing for me and will provide PEP...but luckily shaukat kahnam provide me the PEP for free...they only charge the consultation and test fee(money is my least concern at this point offcourse)..i am sharing all this so next time when somebody comes...he knows where to go in lahore....

ok i visited the Doc...he gave me the PEP... three diff tablets for ARC (lopinavir/ritonavir), Aviro-Z, and Avolam....dont know how this thing works..and what it does really any information will be highly appriciated...the Doc said when you are willing to do the basic why not do it to extended PEP,...he also said that the chances are rare that you got an infection but lets not take a chance and start PEP....also took my tests for HEPATITUS, CBC(full blood count), HIV ....after taking PEP tablets i dont feel anxited anymore...i guess i am better now..
on 28th day they will test me for HIV and will take my Virus load as well..i am trying to get the hooker examine...i hope i am able to do it...

you have been assessed and advised to test, at the appropriate time, to know your status.

as mentioned above...SYMPTOMS DO NOT DIAGNOSE HIV.  the symptoms of early infection are the same as a multitude of other common, everyday illnesses.

testing the worker, if possible, will ONLY tell you if you should go on pep.  IF she is hiv positive...you would qualify for pep.  having sex with someone who is hiv positive does NOT mean automatic infection ! ! !

please go back and re-read this post in it's entirety.  we have covered pretty much everything for you.  continuing to read and search for hiv will ONLY increase your anxiety and add fuel to that fire.

bottom line is...test to know your status.
