worried !!!!!

Well,
         I have protected vaginal sex with CSWs for 8-9 times in last 1 year and 3-4 times unprotected
oral sex. I was very careful while dealing with condoms, i e no breakage or slipping.
Now my last encounter was at 12 th september, protected vaginal sex , condom properly worn.
I smoke also.
Now I am gettin sort of paranoid about all this. Smoking like hell. I ve swollen glands in my armpits.
and a rash on wrist that lasted for 1 week and then healed. No other symptom like fever or flu etc.
What are my chances of getting that deadly virus ?
Please Help. I am going nuts over the issue. I am married. I worry I might have infected my wife .

thanks lizzie lou,
1.
though i am going to bite the bullet after 13 weeks , just for curiosity (?), do all symptoms come together (ARS) or they come one by one.
Till now I have light fever ( perhaps) for one day, throat sore for some days and now I just
got some boils over my arms and legs.I feel my lymph glands are ( rt arm) is swollen though.
I am preparing myself for the worst to come.
2.Can these boils be opportunistic infections i am facing due to an already weakened
immune system ?
kindly elaborate.

I have some strange symptoms like my left armpit gland seems to be lil bit enlarged and
i ve some hives like ( small red coloured ) on my arms, and legs, one on my cheek also.
No fever. A lil bit sore throat, lump like in my throat .
I am going nuts. I am smoking a lot and taking alcohol these days , could it be because of that ?
I am planning to get tested after 13 weeks. Meanwhile i ll using rubbers with my wife.
