Chances of hiv infection after unprotected sex

Hi, I am a 26 year old male, I had unprotected anal sex with a sex worker 6 weeks back. And 12 days after exposure I got tonsillitis, I went to the doctor and she prescribed antibiotics, it came down in a week. In the mean time my lymph node was swollen, i had fever, night sweats, i feel my left part of stomach is a  bit swollen. I took a hiv antibody test at 4 weeks after exposure and it came to be negative. I told my doctor about the possible exposure but she asked me to wait for 12 weeks. What are the chances that I have hiv? and do you suggest any test to confirm hiv infection earlier? I read that early diagnosis could help in treatment.

Thanks Teak

The unprotected anal sex lasted for like 5 seconds or less, the time of realizing i slipped in and then I pulled out. Is this still a risky behavior? The 2 guys said they are HIV negative and were tested, but i don't know if i should trust them.

Still a friend told me there are small chances of catching HIV from kissing, oral and rimming... I feel like i should stop having sex alltogether, it's just not worthy the risk...

Hello everyone

I am a gay man, 32 years old. I came out one year ago, and since then i had some form of sex with 17 men... I just wanted to explore my sexuality, but now i am worried i may have got HIV.

I had kissing/oral sex with most of these guys, and with 7 of them I had full sex, 3 times i was bottom or versatile. When I was bottom i always used condoms. When I was top, twice happened that the guy wanted rough sex and my **** slipped in their anus for a few seconds before i came out and told them i wanted a condom.

Of the guys i did not have full sex with, a couple of times i had their **** rubbing on the outside of my anus. My anus can bleed very easily. Some time i also did rimming on them.

Now, i have either an oral thrush or a herpes, and flu like symptoms. These symptoms started all of a sudden while i was having sex with the last guy, we did lots of kissing and oral. I was tested for STDs 1 month ago, but all of the full sex acts happened less than 3 months before the test.

When should i get tested again? I am very scared honestly, i and i have to work a lot in this period so this does not help me. I will stop sex and kissing for 3 months to make sure the next text is conclusive.

Hi,

I wanted to have sexual intercourse(which I feel very bad now) and I got the contact of a girl who claims that she is not a prostitute.But I feel she is a prostitute.Later I started having sex with that girl.I had unprotected oral.I rolled my mouth over her labia.No licking and all and then I did fingering to her.I donot have any cuts in my mouth.Then she compelled me to have one vaginal intercourse.It was protected and I pulled out of her vagina in less than 30 secs.What are the chances me contracting any disease.I donot know about her status.

If you had a negative test 3 months after exposure you dont have HIV.
