Typhiod & HIV risks

Dear Sir,
Kindly do not mind for the big question.Im going to be tested in next 17days.

This was my first sex of my life with a sex worker.I had vaginal sex and during the intercourse the condom broke,i immediately removed (exposure < 5 sec)and inserted new condom and ended. I did not ejaculate in her.

15-20 days later one day got shivering and ever i took tablets it cured again after 2 days i had high fever like the fever used to come in the afternoon and disappear and again in the nights.Again i took tablets for 4 days-did not cure.This time i went to doctor he conducted blood test for malaria on 30-May.everything was fine & wbc count was 5800.He asked me to get admitted as something was wrong.I immediately rushed to my hometown since i was alone there(INDIA).

Next day 31-May again doctor conducted tests for typhiod and malaria again normal.I changed my doctor on 2 June he found suspicious about typhiod fever since I showed him earlier report he was also confusing.

Finally on 4th again blood test which was positive for typhiod and ESR 50. He gave tablets and injections but fever didnt decrease,it used to come in night and disappear.after 5 days again blood test here typhiod reduced but ESR 60 and no TB. Doctor suspected for TB and prescribed 5 days TB course.The very next day onwards everything was fine. Fever reduced but sometimes my body,legs would burn.Now it has reduced totally.

In fact the fever and my illness was for more than  25 days.

What are my risks.
1) My first Sex
2) <5 seconds exposure.

Thank you

There are no tests marketed or sold to give a conclusive negative test result earlier than 3 months post exposure.

Why dont you test? A duo test 29 days after your exposure is reliable.

White blood cells count 3200 as on 10th june

ESR 50 as on 4th june
ESR 60 as on 10th June.   Is it related to HIV anywhere?

even if she had hiv, it is not likely that you contracted hiv from the MINIMAL exposure you describe.  with that being said, the only way to know your status is by testing.

3 months post exposure will give you a conclusive result.
