Dear Doctor,
I need your advise very urgently. A week ago, I had sex with a 20 year old japanese escort in London (U.K). Everything was safe except for a brief slip off of the condom in one position. She immediately stopped, and was not happy about it. I asked her her HIV status and she said she was negative, and was tested monthly. I contacted the owner of the escort agency and he told me there was nothing to worry, all his girls were tested every month. I also learnt that she is a student.
What is my risk of an HIV infection? She did take extraordinary level or precautions, only brief kissing, no french kissing, and no touching her vagina without a condom on the finger.
I am greatly troubled that I may have contracted HIV, and I am hysterical. It as begun to affect my work. I tried to find out about testing options and learnt about something called HIV proviral which the clinic says can be done after 10 days with an accuracy of 99%, is this true?
Please advise, I do not know who to talk to, and could really use your help to put my mind at ease.
Please, please reply.
Regards, Abby.
