Just finished my PEP treatment, now what?

There must be at least a dozen using this forum, who had a PEP treatment. This is a post reaching out to you guys. I started by PEP treatment following a short time exposure (30sec) through analsex with a thai commercial sex worker. I have had a lot af anxiety during the last month. I haven't examined my body this much in my whole life, and every suspecious thing I find I automaticly link to HIV/ARS - even though it might now even be a symptom. But then i try to calm my self with a basic risk calculation.
- 0.06% - 0.1% for unprotected analsex
- 10-30% likelyhood for a thai commercial sexworker to be HIV+ (its a guess)
- Exposed for max. 30sec should decrease the risk a little maybe 10%.
- 40-60% reduction due to circumcision according to some studies.
- 80-90% reducion of risk duo to starting PEP treatment with 3 drug combination (2 NRTI + 1PI) within 28 hours.

Adding all these numbers based on worst case scenario gives me a risk of:
0.001*0.3*0.9*0.6*0.2 = 0.00003240 = 0.0032%
Which means 1 in 30,864 in worst case.

BUT PEP can fail, and this freaks me out, even though the numbers are extremely low. How did you guys manage to pull your selves through this periode of not knowing. I can't get a conclusive answer before 3 months post last dose. I'm depresed, every time i'm out, the only thing in my mind is to get back home as soon a possible. I haven't exercised for a month, and I noticed that I'm trying to avoid my friends. So now what? What are your experiences?

This is an update for the people who are using this forum as an information source. My 12 week post exposure, and 8 week post pep test just got back; NEGATIVE!. This will be conclusive for me considering brief exposure, me taking PEP and due to the 3rd generations test detecting up till 99% at 6 weeks. I had a very very sore throat 4-5 weeks post PEP! It did freak med out, but this had nothing to do with acute HIV.
