Stupid mistake

by S8S, May 06, 2008 11:49PM
I had an encounter with an  female escot yesterday. I got drunk and lost my wisdom.
1. Gave oral sex to her
2. Had unprotected anal sex for few minutes no ejaculations.
3. Had protected vaginal sex later

I will never make this mistake again. Do I need to test my self  ? What symptoms should I watch out for?

unprotected anal sex, but used a condom for the vagina. Interesting...


Yes you need to test.  Was she an escort or a street prostitute?  Not that it matters much, just generally the words "unprotected anal" and "escort" don't go together.

Don't worry about symptoms. A good amount of people will have no symptoms at all.  ARS GENERALLY would be high fever (102+), swollen lymph glands all over your body, headaches, sore throat, night sweats. But everyone's a little different. It could be any one of these or other symptoms or none.

Test at 6 weeks (at least 95% of positives will be positive by then).  Then again at 13 weeks if 95% isn't good enough or if you want to consider yourself CDC negative.

BTW, though this was risky.  It's not something that you should let occupy your thoughts.  The chances that you got HIV from this one time encounter even if she had it are slim.

Dont worry about symptoms, they are pretty much worthless when it comes to diagnosing HIV because they are the same symptoms of very common viruses like a cold.

The odds are on your side for a one time encounter. Make sure you get tested anyway.

Not all people get ARS symptoms, which makes symptoms unreliable. Just test 3 months post exposure and collect your conclusive result.

Thanx everyone for immediate response. It was a Escort not off the street.

I agree & I hope I will keep my commitment not to ever go to an escort again.

I plan to go straight for a 90 day test.
