HIV Symptoms
I am an early 20 male. I had vaginal sex with two commercial sex workers in thailand. I did use a condom on both occasions - though during the second time I got a bit mixed up in the dark and tried to put it the opposite way, i later corrected myself , but with the same condom :-(. I know that vaginal sex is a low risk and with condom it becomes even more so. But I can't seem to remember if I had the small microcuts near my fingernails - **** I should have thought about that then.
Anyways right about two weeks after the first event(possible exposure) I started to have neck pain and slightly feverish - I initially attributed that to my gym workout (crunches) but not before having a full blown panic attack and an entire day or two lost in nervousness and thinking of worst case scenarios.Once that subsided one day later (two weeks after the second event), I have started to feel light-headed. Now generally I would attribute it to the stress at work and whatever. But that has been always there to a certain extent. And I have been feeling sleepy a lot more. I have usually slept for a lot less and pulled my weight still. And recently people have been complimenting me on how I have lost weight too. I was very happy earlier, thinking that gymming is paying off - but now I am so skeptical I am driving myself nuts.
When is the closest time I can get a test done? Which test? What do you think about my HIV risk?
Please help. I would like to put to bed such concerns as I literally have a lot to do right now and in life too.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
1. Even with the mix-up with the condoms?
2. No effect of micro-cuts on my fingers (while fingering)?
3. When can I get an HIV test at the earliest?
I had read about the minute odds but even then am scared ********, don't know why.
Thanks again. Somehow I am already feeling a bit calmer. :)
