Do I have primary hiv infection?

I'm 49 years old. 18 days ago i had sex with a call girl. Being temporary single I could experience this once in a lifetime without cheating on anyone. We kissed, we had intercourse with a condom, i kissed and licked her clitoris for about 10 seconds then I went with my fingers back and forth from my mouth to her vagina to transport a bit of my saliva, carresed her vulva a bit with my hand and then she performed fellatio on me without a condom until I came. When afterwards she inquired about future possible meetings I told her that my decision was firm, this was my first and last time ever to have sex with a call girl. Then she said, after some strangely silent thought and looking a bit absent (as if in her mind she reviewed what we just did): "oh no... I'm sure we will meet again, I am inside your body now and you will never be able to get rid of me..." The phrasing was a bit odd (could she be talking about a deliberate infection!?!?; or was she just saying "men get addicted to me"?). Anyway, in the post orgasmic confusion of the moment I took no further notice of her words...

Already few days after this encouter I started to have mild upcoming pain in my throat. The pain has been increasing and has been ongoing for almost three weeks now. It feels as if I have an infection or ulcers very deep in my throat or esophagus. The part of my throat that is visible is mainly red, with very deep possibly a white patch. Gradually my throat is getting more sensitive and starts to cause nausea; I also have a decreasing apetite and feel sweaty. However I have no rash and no fever. the part of my throat deeper and closer to the chest - is swollen.

I went to my doctor a week ago, who took blood samples for STD's and throat smears for viral and bacterial cultures. The viral culture was negative. Strep and syphylis tests were negative. The results of the bacterial culture will be known tomorrow...

In the mean time I am very worried that I might be in a stage of primary hiv infection (ongoing seroconversion), which would give a horrible and cynical meaning to the words of that call girl. Should i be worried? Could it be that she, also in seroconversion after some kind of hiv incident that was known to her - was carrying a very high virus load in her vaginal fluid or mouth and that she new what was happening? It is to soon for a HIV seropos/neg test (timeframe is only 2 weeks and a half). Should I ask my doctor to give me a HIV virus load test?

Teak, two weeks ago I had protected sex with a prostitute, but performed unprotected oral on her.      Three days later I noticed a swollen lymph node behind my left  knee, which has since reduced in size but is still there. Around the same time my right nipple became sore, and inoticed a lump under the bottom edge if it, which has since dissapeared. I found a lump in my left armpit a week and a half after the sex episode, which has also gone downquite a bit and no longer hurts however it is still there, and today I noticed a swollen node in my neck. Is this indicitive of early HIV infection or am I parinoid?

You heard wrong. Latex and polyurethane condoms are very effective in preventing HIV and most STD transmission.
