really scared

Hi. i am from Pune, India. On 24th April i had sex with a commercial sex worker without a condom. I know its stupid. But anyway, now i am scared. Its been almost 45 days. A couple of days ago i had mild fever and cold and cough. but it remained for a day. I have been travelling and i wanna believe that this was due to the change in climatic conditions. but last night, while masturbating i felt a little pain in my testicles. but it was so only for a few minutes and i havent experienced today. Please advice. I am really scared.

u can test now..the result will give u a good indication of your status..
DrHHH has never seen anyone who tests negative at 6-8 week, turn positive later..
however,you must test again at 3 months for a conclusive result..
