Help for a silly guy
Hi Doctor,
I live in Sydney, Australia. On Satursday 5 April I had protected intercourse and oral sex (her on me) with a prostitute. Nothing was unprotected and the condom was change twice during the session - it would appear that the lady was concerned about health issues. We also engaged in passionate kissing with tongue. I did not give her oral sex and the intercourse that we had was not vigorous and the condon did not break (i did not undertake this but i am aware that the prostitute does engage in anal sex with a condon which may exposure her to higher risk of HIV)
Now, three days ago I developed a sore throat which has made my voice 'husky' and I have developed a nasty cough, and a slight fever at night. It would appear that i do not have any rash and my glands in my groin and armpits are not particularly sensitive. As far as i can tell, the same is true of my throat glands. Though my voice box is sore.
Am i correct in assessing my risk of HIV exposure as almost 0%? It was a completely protected encounter. However, as i have developed these symptoms 7 days after the event does worry me a little bit. What would you advise and is it possible to put a risk-percentage on my activity?
many thanks,
Luke

like chilly said, protected is protected and if the condoms didnt broke your risk is ZERO, so no test netheir worries needed.
Continue practicing safe sex and you`ll continue negative and safe

You said you had condom prootected sex . Thats exactly what it was Protected .. You have no risk and do not even need to test from this .. You more than likely caught a cold or something . You can not catch HIV from that situation . Dont worry about it and move on . Best Wishes Chilly
