HIV Scare - Sex with Escort Raw Burn Skin -

I had a sexual encounter with an escort on Tuesday , everything was covered with condom , but we did do some kissing . This particular escorts has done bbsf ( full service without condom for extra price ) .
We had sex for around 30 mins and it went well , she was nice and condom stayed on , didnt notice any holes , etc.

Yesterday as Im in the shower I notice raw skin / burn mark on the shaft of my penis , and I got terrified because I have no idea if that mark was actually covered by the condom . Its around 2 inches from the base , but Im uncut , so when I put the condom on I have to roll the skin down that mark comes even closer to the base and not sure if the condom reached and covered it fully .

I got the burn mark before the encounter , maybe on Sat , Sun or Monday , I basically was doing Moxa sticks on my wrists and went I got up the ashes fell on my penis and I quickly brushed it off , it was never bleeding , no blisters , it was just a burn mark like from cigarette touching skin.

I am panicking out of my mind , at home I pull out condoms and started rolling them on my penis to see if that mark would of been covered and honestly I have no idea , I roll up the condoms all the way down and its like a 50/50 chance if it was covered, it literally came down to a few cm's  

I went to my sexual health clinic today and kinda upset because they did not take me seriously , even thou I was one of the first people there waiting I was seen last , the nurse I spoke with tried to calm me down but I also got a vibe from her that something might not be right , so that worries me , she told me its too early to get tested and I should come back in 2 weeks , then 3 months .

I texted the escort and made a lie about how I want to see her again and have sex without condoms this time but only if shes clean . She tells me shes clean and gets tested every month or so , so I ask if she has papers and she told me she doesnt have them atm but if I want she could get her doctor to give me a call , at first I thought it was a joke how she would get her friend to pretend to be a doctor and call me .... anywho 20 mins later I get a call , its the doctor , I ask him a few questions to confirm its all real and it is , and he shared the information with me , she did her last test on Monday , day before our encounter and she is clean , everything came back negative .

The reason why Im worried is because this girl does seem dirty and she offers full service without condom for an extra price . I know her most recent tests came back negative but Im afraid she might of caught something maybe a week or two ago and it would be too early for the HIV to show up on any tests .

Im soo worried right now ,

I had this burn mark on the left / back side of my penis shaft and have nooo idea if that area was covered , the doctor examined my burn mark and she told me my risk for catching HIV was low but still reccomends I get tested later . Also I went all the way down into her so my whole penis was in there , I rolled up condoms on my penis at home to see if the mark might of been covered or not and I honestly dont know .
It was like raw skin , couple days old , seemed like the first few layers were burnt off , there was not any blood or cuts , just burn skin from the ashes .

If you guys could give me your thoughts / advice that would be great , Thanks

Hey guys , its been 50 days now since the encounter . I went to the sexual clinic a few times the past weeks to get a test but they were just too busy to see everyone .

The escort I saw texted me to see if I wanted to see her again , she told me she got tested and send me the pics of her results . Her test was done on Feb 16 .
That was around 32-34 days AFTER our encounter and she was Negative for everything .

I know sometimes it takes 3 months for hiv to show on tests so Im worried if she might of caught something a couple days before meeting me . She openly does sex without condom for extra cash so Im not too sure what to expect .
I will try and get a test done today on Friday , her negative at 32-34 days after our encounter , good news or it doesnt really mean anything since too early??

Just doing an update - incase anyone with a similar situation as me , maybe this could help them out , kind of documenting my journey here ...

36 days have passed now , I feel OK , Anxiety has really messed me up , I had a minor sore throat .
Im going to get tested this week , Im pretty nervous actually . Usually I go to my sexual health clinic but theres always a big lineup and I usually wait 4-5 hours everytime I go there , maybe I'll just go to my family doctor this time.


What worried me recently was at the back of my head I got a few small bumps , I dont think it was swollen lymph nodes , it just looked like a bunch of small bumps around the same area , back of my head around the bottom of my hairline , the place is pretty sore , I touch the bumps and it hurts a bit , theres around 3 , this really worried me and Im not sure what is it .

I've also been touching my armpits the past few weeks looking for swollen lymph nodes ( I know this is bad and I try not to do it ) , its really hard to tell if I do have swollen lymph nodes under my armpits or not .

Im still pretty nervous with this HIV scare , about 2 more months until I can get a conclusive test result .


Would anyone know what these bumps could be ? is that some sign relating to hiv ?

You have no medical training and are wasting your time self-diagnosing.

You should see a therapist instead.

I just wanted to update my post , maybe there are people out there who have a similar situation and this could benefit them.

Its been 28 days since my encounter , oh boy the day started off pretty bad , I woke up early and felt really hot , was kinda sweating .

Then I finally took a bath and brushed my teeth , for the first time in a week basically , I was misrible , stayed at home , never went out , didnt even shower thats how depressed I've been.  

But Im worried because most of the day my Throat was bothering me , sore throat / strep throat , this has really freaked me out .

Its been 28 days now , Im really worried the symptoms could possible start coming on now .

HERE IS WHY IM CONCERNED :

I have not left my house in over a week , I have no stepped outside in over a week , I basically just stayed in my room .
I called the HIV hotline and they told me my risk was low and the problem Im having with my throat is because I caught the cold , or virus going around .... but how could that be ? I stayed at home for over a week and never stepped foot outside , how could I caught a cold or anything ?


Forgive me guys for all this , Im extremely worried and just need a place to write down my questions/thoughts , This place has really helped me

HIV can't make a sore throat on its own either, so your quarantine had a weakness somewhere and failed to protect you.
Flu germs live 2 weeks on surfaces after someone coughs on it. Likely you breathed, ate or rubbed some flu virus into your eye or nose and got the flu.

Thanks AnxiousNoMore ,
The past week has been brutal for me , I stayed home all week , never went out , did not shower or brush my teeth I hate to admit it , and just slept , stuffed my face with food and watched youtube videos, I've just been very depressed and in the slumps.


Couple days ago I actually started to do better where I finally accepted the fact I had a low risk encounter and could finally move forward ...... but unfortunately today my throat started to feel weird , sore throat , strep throat .
And it triggered my anxiety , I mean I stayed at Home over a week , I never stepped foot outside how would it be possible that I caught a cold or virus ? Today is been 27 days since my encounter and I dont know what to think .... I was doing better but now that I got this sore throat it really made me anxious , I know a sore throat doing say much on its own , Im just worried this is the start of something ... oh boy ..... sorry guys but Im just worried , I honestly couldnt talk to much before my throat started getting sore.

Thanks AnxiousNoMore , oh boy what a roallercoaster ride this is , well its been 24 days since my encounter , I keep calling the HIV hotline when I feel depressed and they said I can get tested at 6 weeks , so just 2 more weeks left and then again at 12 weeks.

I've been constantly feeling my armpits the past week looking for any bumps and I know Im doing more harm then good . My armpits felt a bit sensitive for a couple seconds that why I started feeling them .

I want to focus on other stuff in life but this HIV scare is always in the back of my mind , but I will try my best not to think about it and move on with my life.

I will definetly remember this pain Im going through now and try my best never to make anymore stupid sexual mistakes , all the anxiety for 15 mins of "fUn".... UGH

If you would only accept the 40 year old science instead of worrying that you might be able to find something new that no one else found then this nightmare would be over.

Thanks Randall40 , I really hope you are right . oh my my anxiety is killing me .

Past couple weeks have been brutal , I stayed home all day long and just thought about this . I' know its wrong but I've been feeling my lymph nodes on armpits and behind ear to see if any are swollen , I feel a slight bump on my left armpit , not sure if its just swollen because of me touching it .
Well its been 23 days since my encounter , I just got a weird tight feeling in my throat for a couple days but I think its just my anxiety causing my throat to tighten up , this lil bump under my left armpit is really worrying me right now ughh

It was probably always there just like your throat feeling and you ignored it because you didn't think for no reason that you were dying. If you continue to over-analyze your body in fear
you will keep finding things to fuel the fear.

Anxious is 100% correct. You had no risk at all your urethra was covered. Your anxiety is getting the best of you.. Although you had safe sex.

Anyone have any advice for my situation ? My throat is feeling weird right now and its just causing more anxiety .

I wore a condom for the whole sex ... but my fear is I had a raw skin mark on the shaft and Im worried if that was covered or not by the condom . It was a small burn mark maybe 1-3 days old , no blood , but raw exposed skin

If I understand correctly, the head of your penis was protected by your latex condom whenever it was inside her vagina. The only way to get HIV form sex is unprotected vaginal or anal sex which you didn't have so you had ZERO risk. HIV didn't burn your penis and the condom protected it.
No one gets HIV from kissing or all of America would have caught it by now.

Therefore testing will be a waste of your time and there is nothing left to think about except enjoying your life again.
