Hiv Anxiety

I am a very normal healthy young man with a girlfriend. On a business trip this week I was with a call in escort.  During our encounter the condom broke and now I am scared beyond belief.

It problably lasted for about 30 seconds while the condom was broke.

How likely if this lady were to be HIV positive that she would have transmitted it to me?  

How long do I wait to get an HIV test?

Scared beyond belief.  Any advice or answers on these 2 questions would be a big help.

Thank you.

If a person has hiv can that person transmit other diseases or just hiv? Like can the hiv person give someone clymadia and not hiv?

I had no condom on i just wanted to see how it felt....it was in for maybe 30 second....im just curious what my risk is...she todl me she had a HIV test a year ago becuase she got a tatoo and that is required.  I am freaking out a bout this and was wondering if anyone could offer insight into my level of exposure...the girl told me she had had 2 parnters since her HIV test came back negative....am I worrying too mucha bout this....and is it partly frighetning cuz its my first time?  Thank you for your response

the exact thing that worriedyoungman happen to me bout two and a half weeks ago(cept it was a mexican stripper/***** in a brothel)...it's amazing what alcohol will do to you..i was kicking my self horribly cuz i was a virgin before that.great way to start off i say...i heard  brothel workers were the safest(shrugs)...ne ways she said she was clean cuz i was freaking out and asked her afterwords she says she gets tested every 2 months or so...during the first 6 days i started to have a pain above my testicles i got test for std's(chlamydia,gonnaryra,syphilis,hiv) bout 11 days in.. the result was negitive ...my question was how accurate is the eia/test 11 days in..i fear my  Lymph Nodes above my groin(a sign of hiv) is causeing the pain also a slight on and off fever

Doctor, that was very kind of you to respond. I didnot expect it.You do not know how much relieved I am now. I will donate to your organization as soon I get back home in a month. I wish i had not gone for the testing at all , since that was my only exposure. Thank you again doctor. and i really apologise for breaking the rules here and for affecting someone's post. If you read this comment, its enough for me, you can post it or delete it. I really appreciate your response. I was almost getting a nervous breakdown.

The exposure was zero risk and "pressure in the lower abdomen" is not a symptom of herpes.  See a dctor if your symtpoms persist, but they have nothing to do wiht the sxual exposure do describe.

Do not conintue repeted questions in this thread; not fair to the original questioner.  Find a friend with a credit card.  Further comments/replies in this thread will be deleted.

Please answer my question, i am in extreme anxiety ,all alone in a foreign land and without access to medical care or credit card. i fingered a sex worker, touched my unprocted penis with the same hand, then touched my penis on her buttocks for a few seconds and then rubbed my penis on her back ( well above the waist) when i came. i got tested for hiv at 40 days, came back negative. waiting for my herpes results now. i have intense pressure in my lower abdomen which some sites suggest as herpes symtom. i am extremely scared. i dont have any other symtoms. from the doctor's answers to similar question, i know i am at zero risk,but this abdomen pressure being a herpes symtom is scaring me while i wait for the results. thank you very much.sorry for this comment.but cant help the anxiety

Your chances of getting HIV from any 1 encounter with someone KNOWN to have HIV and without a condom is something like 5 in 10,000 so the odd's are in your favor. A definitive test for HIV should be taken at 13 weeks from possible exposure.

The odds are your escort did not have HIV; other than street walkers and brothel workers, many (most?) commercial sex workers in the US have lower HIV infection rates than average sexually active women.  Middle and upper income sex workers tend to stick with safe sex (as with you) and many get checked for STDs and HIV frequently.  Even if she had HIV, the chance you would have been infected in a single episode of vaginal sex is somewhere in the range of 1 in 1000-2000.  All in all, your risk is low enough that I do not recommend HIV testing.  But you might want to do it if a negative test will be more reassuring than my words.

Good luck--  HHH, MD
