HIV symptoms on rampage!!

hi friends n experts, my 1st encounter with csw: 11/2/2012    last: 2/3/2012

total were 4 times with different prostitutes. I always wear condom(cheap one provided by the pros) but involved actively in oral sex (unprotected).At one time my penis had half-inserted into the vagina for around several seconds before I pulled back

Around two weeks after 4th encounter i started to have these conditions:

short flu but long cough almost 6 weeks now
full white tongue n metal smells in my mouth.
black spots/lesions on face and feet, few on elbows n arms.
red white spots rashes on my palms not painful
white small pimples on chest
burning sensation on thighs legs n other joints
on and off dierrhia
loud grumbling stomach even after meals
sudden pain on legs n shoulder while sleeping
an-intermittent low grade fever n nightsweats/hotflush

i never have those feeling.before so its really weird to say that the symptoms n contact with the women are not coincidence..i went for full std check up for VDRLs, all came back negative..if what i have now is not ARS, what r other possibilities do u guys think? all your replies and advicess are very much appreciated

its highly unlikely that a few seconds of unprotected penetration will result in infection...but i'm not going to guarantee it.

you can test at 4 weeks with a duo or 6-8 weeks with an antibody test.  either one will give you a very good indication of your status.  follow up at 3 months for a conclusive result

when you inserted for a few seconds, were you unprotected?

sex workers use the correct condoms.  having sex with you is a JOB...and they are protecting themselves from YOU, their paying customers.

condom protected sex = safe sex
