Dr H's - Here is my story:
Myself:
Age: 26 -Uncircumcised- No prior STDs - Heterosexual
Possible Exposure:
1st Sexual experience (virgin prior) w/ CSW
Location: Tijuana, Mexico – Legal Brothel
Oral + Vaginal = Protected – Durex Pleasuremax – Exp 2014 – Approx 7 minutes
Alcohol was involved; however, I am sure of the following:
Condom was:
-Placed on by CSW – She demanded she place the condom on me
-Stayed on through intercourse – Adjusted slightly by hand of CSW while delivering HJ to make me more erect
-Did not break- Pulled out before ejaculating and saw semen gather in reservoir with no leak
-Removed with a towel
Her response after asked about STDs after sex “this is my job” and I have nothing to worry about.
Possible Symptom:
(every anxiety symptom) - Fear of HIV- Consuming my life
Nausea, vomiting, lack of appetite, short. of breath:( only in the mornings and when I think of my life with HIV) – Started @ 5-6 Days(rough to tell due to hangover symptoms after incident) – Lasted 2-3 weeks
No fever, headache or sore throat - 98.8 (highest-oral)
Trouble sleeping and nightmares – I have nightmares about HIV and wake up a bit sweaty – I wake up roughly 2 hours early and use the restroom as well. (normal stool not diarrhea)
Went my doctor (@ 4 weeks) and he said my symptoms were anxiety related –cried during appointment – He told me a normal blood test was what I needed – He said NO HIV testing required
Result – slightly high: calcium+ wbc count– but 100% healthy
I went to Europe @ week 5 and felt fine there (I believe it was due to a mental distraction)
Pain in neck – I am sure it was due to wrestling on the beach and whiplash (not swollen lymph nodes – no fever) - but not 100%
Rash after scratching bug bites on shoulder and back – (don’t know if ARS rashes start as a bite and spread after itched)
Questions:
1. HIV Risk?
2. Analysis of sypotoms and timeframe?
3. Any further testing required?
