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 .

Please......... can somebody answer me...
I am still waiting to complete 12 weeks for my first test. My second son who is just 17 months had a viral feaver and after the end of this viral feaver he had rashes on the body. The doctor said it is viral fever and the rashes are due to the virus.
I am very nervous now. Will this be the virus he would have got from me (If I am infected). I just have normal life with him like i feed him food, sometimes he eat from my plate, i some time kiss him. etc. I heard that an infected person's saliva will also be having virus. Will this virus be enough to infect a small infact of 16 months. I have read that you won't get infected by saliva but will a small kid can get infected?. I am so upset now and nervous about this situation. Can someone give me some advice.
I am passing my 7 weeks. How assuring it will be if i do a test now? Can someone advice the percentage of chances that i am not infected if I get a negative test result.

ARS with only headage is not considered as ARS. about 60-80% people get ARS when they exposed. BUT ONLY TEST TELL YOU TRUTH
It passed now 3 weeks for me. I have not experienced and symptoms like fever,or lymphnodes etc. The rashes i mentioned earlier like the red spots are still there in my hands and one on my chest. They are tiny ones and still remains. It would be now more than two weeks i am having this red spots. At times i get mild head ache that is all.
I am waiting for the 6 weeks period to do me first testing.
This head ache and those spots on the skin are ofcourse worrying me a little.
Will ARS rashes comes without and fever, or can someone have only headache and no other ARS symptoms... ?
I did'nt want to bother all you good people with my questions and was waiting to get the tests done. But you know the mental strengh looses slowly and i felt i should ask you guys for some advice.
Does no ARS symptoms points to a high possiblity of not getting infected ?
I appretiate comments from everyone on this.
Thanks a lot

I know i am at a high risk category compard to any worried well.So any symptom which i could not explain with another other conditions are giving concern.I know that the only way out is to get through this period and wait untill i get tested. But when we feel that the symptoms what was see are not really an ARS related one that gives a bit of comfort and hope.
I will pass my 2 weeks. Now quite anxciouly waiting to see whether i will develop and flu or through infection or any of my red spot on the skin are increaing ....
I pray for everyone in the forum i come accross. I am so worried about the price one have to pay for one mistake done in life...
