Risk of HIV?? Or am i overreacting?

Risk of HIV?? Or am i overreacting?

Hey guys,

I chanced upon this forum. Anyway, I had sex with a sex worker on 4th April (am going to get checked 1 month later cause I'm extremely worried [or paranoid] that I contracted HIV)

Anyway, I'm not sure of the sex worker's status but she carries a condom around in her bag (it's alright right? as it's not compressed or anything).

Anyway, I performed unprotected cunnlingus on her and from what I've read so far my chance is low? (cause HIV is in the fluid at the cervix not the vaginal fluid that occurs when the girl gets aroused or something? ) I just wanna re-assure myself though :X

In addition, *sorry for graphic details* but I sucked her nipples, fingered her and had protected vaginal sex with her. I'm not sure if she put on the condom correctly but I assumed so since she appeared to know what she was doing (i'm just afraid there were some small holes/tearing in the condom). But if it's anything, after the sex, me being paranoid, I went to fill the condom up with water (didn't really wash it) to see if it leaked. The first time there were some drops though I think that was because when I filled it up, some water got splashed on the outside but after patting it dry and filling it up again, there was no leak even as I squeezed near the tip. Does that mean the condom is safe?

Also, after that, I checked my fingers and mouth and found no visible sores/cuts but I'm still worried of contracting it. How likely am I to get it? [Let's assume she is HIV + for worst-case



Recently (this week in fact at the 4th week mark), I had this swollen lymph nodes in my ear (although I used to have them before) and flu like illness (only in the morning though).

But those 2 I'm not that worried since it has happened before however earlier this week on 2/5, when I woke up I found that i had these red itchy rash on my left arm (incidentally, I fingered her with my left hand).  1 on my left knuckle and 3 clustered near the elbow joint with about 2 more spread around on the arm.is there a need for concern? Also, i had this small sore/ulcer on my lip and it sort of burst and was later covered by a white pus like layer (but it came off when I was showering) though it doesn't hurt.

I also had watery stools but in the past 4 hours I only went to the bathroom twice. [I think it was due to some spicy food] and last week when I woke up, I had this white layer on my tongue. Is it thrush? Although that layer came off easily and it didn't bleed or anything. That was the first time i saw it.

Incidentally, all of these symptoms started appearing around the 22nd day mark. Is this a cause for concern?  

Also assuming the sex worker had STD, would my actions above have increased my chance of getting HiV? Thank you!  

Sorry for the lengthy post  :X

Nothing that you describe put you at risk for HIV as you were advised in your other thread.

Thanks but I just checked and the white layer is still there. Is it a cause for concern? After brushing I saw a little blood on toothbrush but I'm not sure if it's due to the tongue or some sore gums :X

Though the white layer is not like those seen on google images. It's spread over throughout the tongue.

You don't have an HIV concern.

Thank you Teak. I'm not doubting you but are you certain? Because the white patch that covers the whole tongue and then some sores on my lip that look like cold sores. :X Sorry
