Terrified for 30days
I had protected vaginal sex with a CSW of unknown status in Vietnam on 18Sep. It lasted 20 mins, there was lube, no ejaculation. I checked the condom before removal. There was not sign of breakage or leakage. 2 days after the exposure, I had profuse whitish discharge from my penis, sore testicles and perineum. So I caught something despite using a condom, likely NGU.
Why I am terrified now is because I remember some bloke wrote in a forum several years ago, somewhere, probably from Yahoo forums, that HIV could piggyback on the std bacteria. I combed all the online forums and wikipedia and journals. No definite answers. They write about "some people seroconverting at 6 months" who exactly are these some?
I went to see my Family Doc, he said 3 months was conclusive though he did say the 3rd generation tests could indeed detect the antibodies much early, say after 30 days. Then there are the forums writing about HIV 1 / 2 and subtype E and the 5% minority. Man, I been freaking out the last 30 days, maybe I going to die because the virus piggybacked with the bacteria, this is terrible. I have Hep B so I think I am immunosuppressed because another bloke wrote in another forum that chronic illnesses slows the seroconversion. Maybe I am seroconverting right now. I been sweating profusely for the past week, felt abit feverish yesterday and sneezed abit today.
I seek God's forgiveness. If I get out of this alive, I will never womanize again ever, but I have another 60 days of agony?

you had PROTECTED sex and do NOT need testing.
if you are having health concerns, see your dr. it's NOT hiv related ! ! !

You used a condom and that would protect you from HIV! To ease your mind get tested now! People who don't seroconvert until six months are rare. Use the search forum here on med help for sercovert six months for more info. I think a test now and one again three months will be perfect! Congrats you are going to be neg from that exposure.
