Freaking

Hello,
I'm freaking about my risk of getting HIV.  I recently had sex with a Thai Bar Girl, totally out of character for me and while having sex the condom broke, raced to the bathroom and washed and then went to the Dr who gave me a course of PEP, which i've been on for 8 days. Since then i've had hives on my arms and severe sunburn that has stayed red and have had strange tingling and numbness in my legs. I'm scared out of my brains that I have contracted HIV. After the incident i took the girl to the hospital for a blood test and later in the afternoon when i picked her up she gave me a slip which had a negative result....but the Dr told me she may still be infected with HIV and it might not have registered in her body yet? What are the chances of getting HIV? Should i continue with my PEP? Should i get an antigen test?

Nobody can tell you whether or not to continue PEP. You are under a doctor's care.

However, if it were me in that situation, I would not be on PEP knowing that my partner tested negative, even factoring in the possibility of the window period. But that is just me.
