hello,
i had sex with a prostitute in a legal brothel in geylang (singapore) exactly 3 weeks ago. we used a condom that was provided by the girl - i didn't think to check it for latex vs lambskin, expiration date, etc, but it was used properly and didn't break. literally i was inside of her for about 20 seconds, if that. two weeks and 2 days later (ie last wednesday), i came down with the flu, which i very rarely get. it's the middle of the flu season here in my country (england). but i've also already had a flu jab. i had a 101.5 fever for a couple of hours - when i took ibuprofin the fever came down and did not come back - and have had a mild sore throat, a cough and a stuffy nose that have lasted in some form or another through today (monday morning). the sore throat is extremely mild but i cough a lot and am blowing my nose a lot.
i guess my question has multiple parts: 1) do you know how safe these circumstances were (i.e. are the condoms they use there generally considered legitimately safe, or should i just assume that i did not use protection at all)? 2) how reflective are my symptoms of exposure to HIV vs the flu (i.e. the fever was non-recurring, the sore throat was mild, etc)? 3) is it necessary to wait 3 months to get tested?
i appreciate your help.
