REALLY CONCERNED WITH HIV

Last year, I had sex with a prostitute in Bangkok with protection. There was no sign of broken condom or leakage. 3 weeks after that event, I had fever, sore throat, and felt really sick, and was sick for a week or so. I just remembered what happened, and I am really stressed out right now. Oh right and before i got sick, I had a 3 night overnight trip, and slept only 5 hours 3 nights straight... Should I go for a HIV test?
Oh, and I had anal sex (was the top person) with a stranger 3-4 months ago without protection, and I questioned her if she had HIV. She said she is checked, but I am still stressed and hopefully over thinking it.

SHOULD I GO FOR A CHECK UP... :(

Had you used condoms you wouldn't be asking. HIV is not a game of chance.

Yes you need to test. Symptoms don't mean squat. I've never had symptoms.

if your partner DOES NOT have HIV, then there is no chance.

As you are not aware of her / her status, it is advisable to get tested to know your status.

You can get your conclusive result now.
