I think I have hiv

Hi I think I have hiv. I am an escort but I think I got it from a one night stand. I got strep throat with a fever but it was quickly heeled with antibiotics in 3 days ,but while on antibiotics I had a little diarrhea but that's went away tho I was also drinking a lot. I also have been breaking out in hives a lot lately. My eyes are sensitive to light sometimes but that maybe because I mm blind in one eye. I'm freaking out I'm so scared I don't even want to get tested. I've never gotten anything through escorting because I'm very safe just that one drunken night is hanging over me like a dark cloud I'm not really sick anymore but I still break out in hives everyday n i have to take Benadryl but this has happened ed before when I was 14 n I went to the doctor twice they have confirmed it is hives

Take a 4th Generation (antibody and antigen) HIV test at 28 days or more. It will be definitive. The sooner you get tested the better it will be, seriously.

If you are saying you had unprotected sex, vaginal/anal and are concerned you picked up hiv you owe it to yourself to test. At 28 days take a 4th generation test.  Most experts believe this test at this time is conclusive. Its up to you but the CDC wants an antibody test at 12 wks to be sure.
Many ppl have gone through similar things and turned up negative. Test results trump symptoms. Until then try and stay off the internet. Don't need to fuel your anxiety.
