Worry after sex with sex worker
Hello,
I am 22 year, male from india.
I had gone for sex for the first time and it was with a Sex worker in a redlight area. It was penetrate penis vaginal sex for 2-3 minutes and used condoms whole time and it was not broken. I don't know the condition of the sex worker. As per the appearance she was fat. We didn't kissed or not touched any genital organ of each other. She used paper sheets to remove condom, don't know if it is a better practice. After that I started feeling worried from the thought of diseases and feel guilt and I never do it again after that i started searching online for risk, symptoms, condoms safety etc...... I am feeling so worried that even a small mosquito bite causes redness makes me worried .I use to daily look anything in body. At 13th day I had diarrhea (watery) , which was for a day. With it i feel like little rise in temperature for just 4-5 hours which gone down and a headache which gone after a sleep. I see a little clear , non stick and small quantity , less than a drop of water on my penis glan in morning, as I am having little balanitis. It's more than 20 days now with nothing much.
Can you give suggestions on this and the risk involved in this, for the disease. I won't be able to share this with anyone . And not cleared wether to go for a test or not. I saw forums on medhelp and made me litte relief.
You did not have a risk. Lots of details about your body, what is going on with your health, her body (like being fat which is irrelevant), etc do not matter. You had zero risk. You used a condom. The ONLY risks are unprotected (no condom) vaginal or anal penetrating intercourse or sharing iv drug needles to inject drugs. Air and saliva inactivate the virus. You never had a risk and you can not get HIV if you didn't have a risk so NOTHING you describe is related to HIV. No matter how bad your anxiety gets, remember that. And work on the anxiety. NO RISK

Considering you had no exposure to hiv, you aren't making any sense. hiv isn't the only disease a person can get, so you should stop falling apart emotionally every time you get a rash. A mother doesn't take her child to a clinic for an hiv test every time a rash appears because she knows a person had to have a risk for hiv in order to get it - you are in the exact same situation except you aren't doing any thinking.
Your situation involves personal contact with an object in air (body, maybe their fluids, etc. ). You will be happy to learn that you had no risk, because you can't get hiv from personal contact except unprotected penetrating vaginal or anal with a penis, neither of which you did and you didn't share hollow needles to inject with which is the only other way to acquire hiv - there are only 3 ways to get hiv. Analysis of large numbers of infected people over the 40 years of hiv history has proven that people don't get hiv in the way you are worried is a risk.
HIV is a fragile virus in air or saliva and is effectively instantly dead in either air or saliva so the WORST that could happen is dead virus rubbed you, and obviously anything which is dead cannot live again so you are good. Blood and cuts would not be relevant in your situation since the hiv has become effectively dead, so you don't have to worry about them to be sure that you are safe.
There is no reason for a person to test when they are safe. The advice took into consideration that the other person might be positive, so move on and enjoy life instead of thinking about this non-event. hiv prevention is straightforward since there are only 3 ways you can become infected, so next time you wonder if you had a risk, ask yourself this QUESTION. "Did I do any of the 3?" Then after you say "No, I didn't" you will know that it's time to move on back to your happy life.
No one got hiv from what you did during 40 years of hiv history and no one will get it in the next 40 years of your life either. You can do what you did any time and be safe from hiv.
The other person's status is irrelevant when you have no exposure.
You can't get hiv when you used a condom, If a condom fails it is a large rip down the seam and both of you will know it so that didn't happen. You should stop worrying now and move on. You saw other posts on medhelp, so I don't know why you are even asking about this non-event, since it should have been obvious that you had no risk.

Thanks for your information, it will help me to boost my confidence which will help me to move on.
Sorry i just need to get back on topic because of doubt
Recent some day I am getting different symptoms like things as it's been around 55 days now and 4 days ago suddenly in evening I started feeling tonsils in throat and i noticed that there is rash getting develop in same area ( around my bottom part of neck) . It is very tiny raised dot with red in Colour and non itchy , and don't see any pus / liquid filled. Next day the throat was getting like dry cough, just very less coughing but the rash was there . Next day I started feeling little well about throat and rash which was earlier in bottom neck started getting more and get over small part of upper chest and neck. It don't feel itchy or just maybe once in a day for few seconds. With that i got runny nose and sneezing. After then I was travelling and weather was having wind which may made little more sneezing. I don't know is it relatable, rash and coughing, sneezing. I have sweating in that neck region so comparing it with sweat rash . Is it relatable to hiv symptom? And yes I find something worried about my face to get feel like little red which at getting from close get to be past acne spots.
Please reply.
