had sex with anonomous older woman

I had unprotected sex with a woman in her 70's at a sex theater and she had just finished with another male before me... I dont know what I was thinking but now a week later I developed swollen lymphnodes that lasted for three days, headaches, fatique, and hot flashes. the lymphnodes went away but I am still getting disoriented, hot flashes, and a little fatiqued. the encounter only lasted about 3 minutes but I am worried that the sperm from other males might have infected me with something. is this possible or high risk? I plan on getting tested tommorow but I have been worried sick for over a week now... thank for any advice.

We all f*ck up from time to time man. Heat of the moment type thing, we're animals after all, even though our brains try to convince us otherwise.right? I thought I caught it once and posted on here, I was CONVINCED I got it from licking a prostitute's.. when I had a canker sore.. I Had all sorts of symptoms, that I got from prescription drugs I took thinking I caught some ****!! I tested negative and was relieved and refuse to take prescription drugs. Point is Symptoms generally are just psychosomatic , or are exacerbated by worry! I promised myself I'd always wear a condom and never do it again, but I did, and worse, and now I am back here worrying again. 1 outta 4 chance as I figure it. If they had HIV, you do them once, you got a 1 in four chance realistically. So get tested cause the real answer is Yes or No!

First of all PROTECTION, PROTECTION, PROTECTION is always a must. Go get checked and never do it again. Our minds tend to do things to us when we are worried. Get tested for every and any thing you can. you are in my prayers.

symptoms of ars (early infection) come at 2-4 WEEKS after infection and last for 1-2 WEEKS.  your symptoms are not indicative of infection.

with that being said...the ONLY way to know one's status is by testing

If it's been 3 months since you had the exposure you've described, you can test now to obtain a conclusive result.
