Possible exposure 17 days ago

Doctor:  I am going crazy with anxiety from my situation. Married bi male with history of occasional sex with Escorts.  Got drunk and meet a transexual escort. We had covered oral and then anal intercourse. I was bttm. She started by using a condom and stopped several times. Worker took condom off  to manually stimulate herself so erect and then put it back on i beleive 2 times. I know that a condom was used at the beginning but am unsure if it was removed. Worker stated that worker ejaculated. I did not feel it or did not have any indication when I cleaned up or when i clenaed myself out about 20 minutes later at home. I didnt see condom discarded after sex. I could kill myself for not verifying the use of a condom througout sex and I cannot say that it was definatley on at the end of our activity.

I immedialtely washed and left. Since then I have had some immediate fitigue which passed after 5 days. I have a bit of a sore throat and neck glands are a bit swollen and sensitive.

I took a standard HIV test after 5 days and recieved a negative test. Had unprotected sex with my wife after results of that test...  then read that it isnt conclusive after such a short period of time after exposure. Anxiety has overcome me and the repercussions of a positive test would have on my Wife and family.

I just took the PCR  test that detects HIV. Results will not be in for 4 days.

What are my chances of HIV contraction if no condom was used at the end.  Help, I am going crazy thinking my irresponsible behavior may have ruined my wives life and my own.

Any and all advice and info would be appreciated.

additonally, when i got my HIV test back which was negaitve - my white blood count was 10500... which is high i believe.  how should i interpret this?

Can't give you an indication of if no condom was used what is the chance. But I can tell you that probably a condom was used because the person doesn't want to get anything from you. But it would be wise to take an antibody test at 3 months just to make sure since you do not know if a condom was always used.

Vance:

thanks for the answer - I saw your prior posts regarding PCR testing. Am i running a great risk of getting a false positive with this test? That might make me jump out a window.

Also, I just talked to the worker and was told that status was negaitve and that safe sex is always practiced... "i just dont go up into somebody's body unprotected"

I guess I find some solace in the reponse. But Seeing is believing.

Thanks for your post
