Is it HIV?

[karan86]

I m a 22 yr old male...on 20th feb 2009, I had an unprotected ******* with a prostitute...I m nt sure about whether she is HIV + or not, neither I m sure about whether she has cuts or wounds in her mouth....after the ******* she put a condom on my penis and we had intercourse....I got worried about HIV infection....after 10 days I had a HIV antibodies test which came negative....but in this entire period i use to feel very tired and nowadys I m feeling that I have swollen lymph nodes....Is there any possibility of having HIV??Can i trust on that test that I m HIV negative??Plz help me.........

You are HIV negative because you had protected vaginal intercourse.  Oral sex is not a means of HIV transmission and is zero risk.

Although had you had a risk, an HIV antibodies test at 10 days would be meaningless.  Antibodies can take up to 12 weeks to develop; a 3 month test would be conclusive.  

However, as I said, you had no risk.

A hiv antibody test at 10 days is non-effective. The earliest detectable hiv antibodies occur at 2 weeks. It's been said that a 4 week hiv antibody test can be 90% reliable and a six week one above 95%. A 3 month test after any possible exposure is definitive.
The hiv virus is surprisingly hard to transmit, even if the sex worker is a carrier of the virus the chances of you contracting it are small.
And also no symptom is a valid indication of hiv.
