Hello,
I am male, 25 years old, foolishly had unprotected sex with a sex worker 6 weeks back. She probably was 28-35 years old. The whole sexual encounter lasted around 40 mins and it was mostly kissing and oral (fellitio) but for around 25-30 seconds I inserted my penis in her vagina. The moment I realized it, I took it out. Later, I ejaculated in her mouth.
21st day after the encounter - I had a small cut in my tongue out of nowhere and it was healed within the day
On the 22nd-28th day - red bumps with white center pop-ed up in several places of my body (none were in the genital or oral area though) but, except one, those too went away within the day. The exceptional one pop-ed up near my right ear and took around 3-4 days to heal, it was slightly bigger than the others and left its mark there after it was healed. None of these were painful or caused itchy or burning sensation before appearing.
On 37th day, I had horrible toothache in the back of my mouth by my wisdom teeth (which are still in my mouth) and stayed around 2 days
Today (42nd day after possible exposure) I spotted two white spots on the gum of my front teeth (not itchy or painful), which might or might not have been there before (I am a chain smoker).
On my 30th day, I consulted with a doctor, he examined and suggested me to run some tests (CBC, HBSAg, AntiHCV, HSV-1/2 IgG and HSV1) and prescribed some medicine. All my test came negative except HSV-1/2 IgG test. The result of IgM test came back negative but the result of HSV-1/2 IgG (not specific) was 17.40. My doctor said I had it for quite some time, probably since my childhood, and if I never experienced any outbreaks ever then there is a possibility that I would never experience any for the rest of my life.
Would be really grateful if you please could answer my questions:
1. Can those be the symptoms of any of the Herpes from the recent exposure?
2. Though my doctor said the result of my IgM test is negative, 0.68 gm/l (reference range 0.4-2.4 gm/l) but can anyone tell me is it really negative or in un-determine stage? or is it possible that I get Herpes from my recent incident?
4. Should I get re-tested for Herpes again at the 60th day (2 month after the sexual encounter) or is the result I got from my last test conclusive?
5. I read from other posts here that the risk of HIV is negligible through oral sex but just to be assure is it possible for me to get HIV in my case (given I probably have weak gum or the issue of that wisdom teeth)?
Thank you for taking the time to read it. I would be grateful to you if you suggest me some advice and clear up my confusion by answering my question. Pardon me for my terrible English and unorganized presentation. Thank you.

Sir, sorry to bother you again, you helped me with advice in the past and I am again hoping to get your wise advice in this matter :)
I get tested at the 46th day with HIV DUO as you advised and the result came back negative. But since last night (56th day), I have terrible diarrhea, body pain, the feeling of coming down with a fever and the difficulty to fall asleep
It would be really kind of you, if you could answer these two questions:
1. Are negative HIV 1 and 2 antibodies and p24 antigen test at 46 days conclusive?
2. Is it possible that I might have sero-conversed late than others and these are the ARS symptoms?

Hi, testing for herpes at 3 months is conclusive. Your combo test would suggest as the doc says, you have hsv1 from childhood and none of what you mention indicates youve just contracted hsv2. Since you did not have any white puss discharge, burning while urinating or urethra itching at the 7 day mark you can pretty much rule out and std from the unprotected vaginal. However since shes a working girl and allowed you to have unprotected vaginal sex, she most likely has allowed may others, i would test for HIV with the DUO test at 28 days.

first, i want to thank you for the response, you have no idea how much i appreciate your reply :)
i have no idea how I contracted HSV1, had been with just one girl before this incident but anyway if i get it, i get it, i have to live with that for the rest of my life
though i still didn't get any of the HIV ARS symptoms yet but the first thing i will do after returning back home is to take that HIV DUO test, thanks for the advice :)
would be really grateful to you if kindly enlighten me in two more things?
1. is there any possibility of me getting any other STDs, though i didn't experience any symptoms other than the ones mentioned?
2. is there any risk of hepatitis B & C (given there were no biting at any point)?
