Chances of getting infected
I happed to have viginal sex with a Thai sex worker.For my bad luck and shock i recognised that the condum has reptured. I realised about this only when i pulled out of her.So not very sure how long i got exposed inside the vigina. This is first and the only time i am having sex with anyone else other than my wife.
3 days after this inscident i started feeling itchy behind my ears, neck sometimes on chest etc. If i itch a mosquito bite like lump appears which will dissappear if i do'nt touch it for long time. I also feel itchy at different parts of the body but if do'nt touch anywhere then no rash appear. Today is the 11th day and i still get this itchy feeling . This is not continiouis but appears often. Ofcourse i am anxsioius and too courious about the ARS symptoms.
I know i have to wait for the testing to really conclude on any openion.
But please give me some inputs on what is the chances that you can get infected on a similar situation like me imagining the sex worker was HIV infected? Does the only one contact will 100 % transfer the infection?. Had it not been tranferred then why this itching feeling and rashes after 3 days from that inscident?. So does it mean that I am already infected ?. Till now i do'nt have fever or any other symptoms. But is this rash alone a positive sigh of infection?
I am normally very healthy and hygenic person. I never had this kind of irritation on skin before. So will this be for sure an ARS . Is there any other chances that I can get similar rashes due to some other infection than HIV?
And the last quetions. Is there any possiblity that you get some STD but not HIV so that you can get treated and cured to get a normal life back?
Please advice .

I got the 84 days test result. I am negative for HIV 1 and 2 (ELISA). This is a very releaving result. Ofcourse I will be doing a final conclusive test on the 6 month bench mark before i will rule out any possibility of infection.
I also had a test for syphilis which also is negative.
Thanks to everyone for the support provided during the trying time. I wish good luck to all you guys who are going through the trauma. I also pray for all of you.
My exposure was of the high risk category and my results should be an engcouragement for those people who have similar exposure and less.. keep cool and do testing... Just do'nt come to any conclusion with you symptoms. This is what i learned and everyone adviced me too....

Thanks for that support.I still have not got my results. I will get it only early next week.So waiting eagerly for the same.
you will be fine!!! expect a big negative. I appreciate you using the same thread throughout your ordeal. I hope others see how it works!
I have given my blood for testing two days back and will get the result tomorrow.I was on 86th day when I went for the test.Hope I will get a HIV negative result. I had a negative result on the 51 st day with ABBOTT rapid test.I am not relying on this anyway pray for me. I pray for all you guys too..
I will complete my 84 days on this saturday. I thought of doing a test on monday 86th day. Will this result be conclusive. I am very tensed though..
Teak.. do you see any chance that I am not infected considering the negative result i got on the 7th week.. I know this question sounds stupid to you but I am finding it very difficult to calm me down.
