Stripper masterbated me after masterbating(masturbating) herself

[Jason1972]

After an encounter with a stripper/prostitute, I have become increasingly concerned about having been infected with HIV. Basically what happened was, during a massage / private strip show, the women concerend masterbated herself for about 5 minutes, then she proceeded to masterbate my unprotected penis, she only had a did a couple of 'strokes' before I stopped her, but this has been enough to send me into a 3 week panic which has led me to here.
About a week after I had a steady headache, but I put this down to stress / paranoia. Then exatly 2 weeks after I developed a light cold which lasted just over a day. Now 3 weeks later I have a very dry throat and a mouth ulcer.
I am going absolutely crazy, not sleeping very well and generally doing my hardest not to totally crack up.
Can someone give me some thought on my chances on being infected! Everything I read on various forums tends to tell everyone their chances are almost zero of becoming infected, but if everyones risk is virtually zero, how come the disease is such a huge problem worldwide!! so far from comforting me, the endless 'no risk' posts have made me even more paranoid!!
Please help, what should I do, and when / If I should get tested
Thanks

masterbation of any form is not a means of contracting hiv.

hiv is transmitted through...

unprotected vaginal/anal intercourse
sharing of iv drug works
mother to child

if you to not fit this criteria...you are not at risk :)

thanks for you reply, I know all the main reasons of infection.
But if you can get infected during unprotected intercourse,  by vaginal fluids coming into contact with the unprotected penis, It figures (to me anway) that if those vaginal fluids are fresh on the hands, they can then be passed onto the penis and cause possible infection. I cannot see  how the method the vaginal fluids come into contact with the unprotected penis makes any difference. The fact that vaginal fluids come into contact with the unprotected penis surely must make risk of infection a possibilty?

thanks for your replies, It feels a great relief just being able to talk to someone about my anxiety.. I am a prisony of anxiety at the moment.

hiv in a woman is located near the cervix in a woman...not in the lubrication produced during arousal.
