Real Risk. Young woman. PLEASE respond.

Exactly eight days ago I had unprotected sex (vaginal) for $500. I have HSV2/genital herpes. The man has seen 100's of other escorts. Some I assume he used protection with me and others maybe not. I know I put myself at risk but can anyone tell me how likely or unlikely a one time possible exposure is to infect me? He did not ejaculate inside of me.

Thank you so much! I am definitely going to get tested after 28 days but I do want to genuinely thank you for putting my mind at ease.

One more issue. I have developed five bumps on my arm that were itchy at first  but have scabbed over. It does not appear to be getting worse. I also experienced diharrea last night which was exactly eight days after exposure. Are these early symptoms?

Well if you know the choices you have made without medication then it might be best to think about getting back on them??

Please going forward use condoms all the time. No amount of money is worth getting HIV.

Yes, it is. I have been reckless the last month because I have discontinued my bipolar medicine and have been making very impulsive and irresponsible decisions. Thank you for your answer, I just want the piece of mind before getting tested since I have to wait several additional weeks

Is this your profession?

One time encounter is low risk but you should be testing. HIV-DUO test 28 days or antibody test 8 weeks.
