Getting Mad !

I had sex with a chinese sex worker whom i picked up from the loby of my five star hotel:
The Incident is as below

*. I Fingered her for few second while taking bath.
*. She gave me BLOW JOB with COMDOM.
*. I had vaginal sex with her with CONDOM for not more then 5 mins.
*. She mastrubated me without condom, SHE WAS SITTING OVER ME and i was playing with her breasts
* I also kissed her sevral times on the breasts

My Concerns:

1. I am not sure, if condom broke (i have never seen a condom break nor did i notice if it was torn, genereally people say that the guy realises if it breaks)
2. Are there any chances of HIV from the encounter if in case her status is Positive ( i am unaware of her status)
3. Can unprotective fingering cause any trouble ( i am aware, i had no fresh cuts)
4. After18 days, i experinced tired eyes and mild headache on and off for 8 days now, can this be the symptom of HIV ?
5. Since then i am having ULCERS inside my mouth near gums inside chick, they come and go (one after another and are reddish)

After 4 weeks of exposure

Everything stopped and i became normal then but i had a lump kind of feeling on neck below my jaw.

i went to doctor this morning and showed him the bump below my jaw  which is as small but hard and can be felt (he is unaware of the HIV phobia i am having), he felt it and then told me that this is a swollen gland and it is caused by 'infection or virus in blood'.. what do i assume here now ???? my encounter was exactly 4 weeks before.. should i be concerned and checked myself for HIV??  i live in a very small town and i am sure these kind of news spreads like a fire if i talk about my exposure to my doctor.

I was told by doc HHH for yesterday that i should get myself tested my peace of mind but i am really unable to to take the courage and go to the test centre thinking what if, the results comes out positive, i am about to get married, what will i tell everyone..i m scared

Thank you from your response..
But in an artcile posted by you in this website (http://www.medhelp.org/user_journals/show/207771/HIV-seroconversion-symptoms)

You yourself said: Swollen gland (with or without ulcer) is a typical symptom of HIV

I am have had a swollen gland and now severe mouth ulcers, which started after 3 weeks of potential exposure and it persists till now (4th week)...

I am sure it means something really bad here.. Its a typical symptom of seroconversion as per your posting..

Good Morning

I went to doctor for mouth ulcers today, he said the ulcers are severe and i also have swollen gland below my jaw.. he priscribed some antibiotic and medicaion for ulcers.. i also suggested him, the non itchy rashes on my back, to which he said that they are probably due to some infection..
Its been 4 weeks since exposure now..
Do these sympotms hint at HIV or ARS?

NO - THEY DON'T. YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING RISKY BECAUSE YOU VERY SENSIBLY USED A CONDOM AND THAT WILL HAVE PROTECTED YOU. THESE SYMPTOMS ARE UNRELATED TO THE EVENT AND IRRELEVANT. I AGREE WITH HUNTER THAT IF YOU ARE CONSERNED THEN YOU SHOULD HAVE A TEST TO REASSURE YOURSELF AND PUT YOUR MIND AT REST.

BEST REGARDS AND HAPPY CHRISTMAS, SEAN

I am scared to death, and have been experincing extreme pain in various parts  of my body thinking about all possible causes,,

Hello,
Thank you for your post.  Here are your answers:

1. I am not sure, if condom broke (i have never seen a condom break nor did i notice if it was torn, genereally people say that the guy realises if it breaks) YOU WOULD NORMALLY NOTICE IF A CONDOM BREAKS AS IT RIPS.  THEREFORE I DO NOT BELEIVE THAT THE CONDOM WAS BROKEN AS YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED.  IF THE CONDOM REMAINS IN PLACE AND INTACT, NO RISK OF HIV INFECTION.
2. Are there any chances of HIV from the encounter if in case her status is Positive ( i am unaware of her status)
NO, EVERYTHING WAS SAFE.  NO RISK OF HIV INFECTION REGARDLESS OF HER STATUS.
3. Can unprotective fingering cause any trouble ( i am aware, i had no fresh cuts)
NO, THAT IS SAFE.  NO ONE HAS EVER BECOME INFECTED THROUGH VAGINAL FINGERING, EVEN WITH CUTS.
4. After18 days, i experinced tired eyes and mild headache on and off for 8 days now, can this be the symptom of HIV ?
NO, IT CANNOT. THERE WAS NO RISK IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THE SYMPTOMS ARE NOT TYPICAL. MOST LIKELY DUE TO STRESS AND ANXIETY.
5. Since then i am having ULCERS inside my mouth near gums inside chick, they come and go (one after another and are reddish)
MOST LIKELY TO BE RELATED AGAIN TO STRESS AND ANXIETY.

In summary, I do not believe that you need to get tested.
Best wishes,
Dr José
