You have posted on the wrong site. Questions about HIV belong on the HIV prevention site. I will do my best to answer your questions with this reply but, if you have additional questions or follow-up they must be on the HIV Prevention site with an additional charge. I feel confident in the answer I am about to give however and feel confident that my answer, along with searching the HIV Prevention site to see that the answer you are about to get has been given to many others in similar situations should suffice. Sorry
Regarding your concerns. You had a single exposure to a woman whom you consider to be "promiscuous", a word which means different things to different people. Your chances of having gotten HIV, or herpes, from this exposure are extraordinarily low. Here's why:
1. Chances are, your partner did not have HIV and while she, like over 1 in five adults, might have had herpes, you chances of getting it are quit low. Only a very few most "promiscuous" women have HIV.
2. Your chance of getting HIV, if she was infected is less than one in 1000 per exposure. Similarly, while the numbers are not as precise, most exposures to partners with herpes do not lead to infection.
3. An HIV test at 6 weeks will give you a result at a time when 95% of tests that are going to be positive will be. Thus you can have great confidence that a negative HIV test at six weeks is accurate for you.
4. Your swollen nodes and ARS "symptoms are meaningless. You appear to have missed our repeated statements that the symptoms of the ARS are TOTALLY non-specific and when people experience "ARS symptoms" they are much more likely to have something else, usually some other, more typical virus infection. When this has been studied in the US, less than 1% of persons seeking medical care for "ARS symptoms" are found to have HIV, the remainder having symptoms due to other processes. In contrast, over a given year, there is almost no one who has not had a viral illness, night sweats or both (sometimes on multiple occasions). In addition, it is also important to realize that many persons who acquire HIV do not experience the ARS. For a person to try to judge their HIV risk based on "ARS symptoms" is a waste of time.
When you put all of these facts together, your chance of being infected with HIV from the exposure you describe is far less than one 100th of 1%. Your six week test will be negative; I would not get further testing. As for your symptoms, they are likely to be due to some non-specific viral illness but neither HIV, nor HSV. If the symptoms continue to bother you, you should discuss them with your doctor when you go for your HIV test. Good luck. EWK
