symptoms after 8 days of possible exposure

Hi All,
I had protected sex with a bar hooker on 15th of March. This was protected (I have not checked though for any failures) and intercourse was also very brief for around 1 minute.
Now after 8-9 days i.e. yesterday I have got little fever (37.5 C) with diarrhea. My stomach is making noises also with cramps.I was also feeling myself very week for the whole day yesterday.
I am completely scared with the question if I have got this xxx thing ??
Do anybody has such experience or if anybody can help me out with some guidance here.
Regards
Ticker

All,

finally at week 13 I went to a testing center and got a quick 1/2 anibody test and within 10 minutes I have received a non reactive result !!!!!
The doctor there told me that this is a around 100% correct result and I should forget this incident and come out from my panic state.
so I am very much relaxed now and will move on with my normal life.
thank to all of you for the guidance and kind help extended...................

Sorry that I am posting this here again but now I am in 12th week and still have 5 days to enter in week 13.

I understand that I have low risk situation but the timing of the symptoms are making me mad.

First at day 8 I have diarrhea for 5 days and later found out the increased uric acid in blood.

I will go for a testing during next week for sure but still 5 days to wait......

Just praying

now I have completed my week 9 and just thinking if this is a good idea to test in week 10.
I am very much scared after the finding about first the stomach issue and later the increased uric acid.
I know that as per rules testing at week 13 will be conclusive but I guess testing during week 10 will be a good indication.
what do you think?

Hi,
last week was with the doctor for a routine checkup and he has said that I have high uric acid in blood.


Now again I am freaking out as I never had this uric acid issue in my life.
Is this a symptom for a possible infection?

So in total after 8 days 3 days of loose motion with light fever and now this uric acid issue.I also had some feeling of dry cough.

I know that I have to test at 13 weeks but this is only week 5 for me.

just counting days...

Hi Teak,
I Hope you are correct and I do not have any risk here.
But with my symptoms I am finding this hard to grasp this.
Anyway I will get tested at 3 months mark and hopefully will be able to get out of this fear.
Ciao

Hi Teak,
Thanks for the answer but do you think that by any chance these symptoms after 8-9 days could be a indication of a infection?

You never had an exposure. Had you had an exposure you would have known without a doubt.
