HIV/HEP C possibility. Quite depressed

Dear all,
I am 30 yr male. On 28 June I had a blowjob from a prostitute. Without condom. After the blowjob she told me she just got out of a drug clinic. I was very scared and watered my penis. I asked her whether I should be worried - she told me no - this made me even more scared.
Exactly 10 days later I had a fever - 38.2 C and the next day (11 day) the fever subsided to 37.1 degrees. I maintain this temperature for the past 7 days already. Mild sore throat on 16 day, dissapearing on 17 day.
Also sometimes in the summer I have recurring fungal infections on the penis.
Questions:
1) How many days after the "incident" can Hep C test be accurate?
2) The same with HIV normal test (no ELISA)?
3) Can fungal infections increase the risk?

Please answer me!!

you've got to get control of yourself...geeeeeeeeeeeeez!!!!!!  

no matter how many different questions you ask, the answer falls back to...YOU DID NOT HAVE A RISK FOR HIV.  have you never been sick before?  never run a fever or had a sore throat...at anytime in your life???  come on now.  you "might" be sick with something (?) but it is NOT hiv.

and another thing...you stated above..."it leaves me with HCV and/or HIV, both of them deadly".  i've got a newsflash for ya...LIFE IS DEADLY!

I see your point, but please understand - I am 18 days after exposure - first temperature on day 8 - I still have 37.2 C NOW!, 5 days later sore throat, I am not joking. No coughs, no runnig nose, nothing!!!!
10 days low grade fever
5 days sore throat.
drug prostitute without a condom!
I know, really that I sound ridiculous to you, I know, but my life is at stake!
I have asked a simple question -
Can symptoms appear 1 week from each other?  

Please answer me that simple question! Please!

I read what you are doing and I admire people like you. Thanks for the support - this is priceless. Still - i am quite worried and need at least a small answer from you - is HCV test going to be accurate after 17-18 days after exposure? Thanks a lot, really.

Have a nice day,

BR

Thanks for the post, today is my 18 day - I noticed I still have sore throat (no pain however) and still have temperature of 37.2-37.5 C. Also mild, dull pain under the right ribs. I am really in despair. Tomorrow I am going to be tested both for HIV and STDs, HCV. Dont know what to do.
I know for certain this is not HAV - this is not transmitted via oral sex.
I know it cant be Hep B as the incubation period is longer - 4 weeks.
It leaves me with HCV or/and HIV, both of them deadly.

As written earlier - my symptoms started on the 9th day - with 38.2 C fever. Throat added on 15 day on, pain under the rib - 16 day.

Please, please tell me is it possible to start HCV and HIV symptoms as early as 9th day? - beginning of second week. Can HCV test be accurate after only 17 days? I know HIV probably wont.

I have almost same story protected vaginal and oral with prostitute that i belive might have both hep c and HIV. 10days after the encounter i had red and painful penis that dermatologist gave me some meds that helped but the itchy feeling stayed forquite long and somtimes comes back especially after masturbation.
I have developed so many symptoms (14+,  some come and go some stay) over last 11 weeks that I totaly freak out
alos what  doessingleenconter mean? I had sex 2 times during 1hour does this significantly rise my risk
I tested neg after 8 weeks for HIV and neg 6weeks for syphilis but this did not easymetomuch because of extended window period

You were never at risk of contracting either HIV or HCV. See a doctor for your signs and symptoms. They have nothing to do with HIV/HCV.
