Unproteced Vaginal Encounter With Escort

[lumbo]

Hi, 8 days ago I made the biggest mistake of my life.  I had an encounter with a ESCORT visiting NJ from Tampa, FL.  I received unprotected oral and then she asked if I wanted to have vaginal intercourse.  I said yes and like normal escorts I was waiting for the condom but she inserted my penis into her as she got on top and grinded my for about a minute until I realized I was nuts.  I immediately went into panic. She said she is an exotic dancer in Tampa and this was her first go at being an escort.  She claims she is 100% clean and has an AIM Certificate to prove it.  She says she can't work without it.  (Of course this certificate was back in Florida.)  I am scared because she didn't seem to be worried about catching anything from my by doing that.  

That's my story, here are my questions?

1. I know this is a high risk situation, what are my chances of catching HIV?

2. Is this AIM certificate something that she could be telling the truth about?

3. How long do I have to wait until I can get tested?  What are the stats for each testing period of accuracy.

4. Is there a test I can take at 2-3 weeks to help with my anxiety?

5. Can my anxiety lead to symptoms of ARS?  Within the last couple of days I have had a lot of pain in the left side of my neck where the lymph nodes would be and I have swollen tonsils. No fever to speak of yet.

I appreciate your help and advice, I am truly a mess and this is not something you can really talk about among friends and family.

You don't need anymore testing. What you need to do is stand in front of the mirror and say "I don't have HIV, I don't have HIV." It really is true ya know ;)

I'd like to ask you a quick question here,

I had a low risk exposure (unprotected vaginal), tested 'undetectable' on the 9th day RNA PCR, 'negative' on the 28th day duo test and 'negative'on the 42nd day duo test, I don't intend to test any more, would that be right on my part or you think a retest at the 12th week is required?

Your response would be much appreciated

Regards :)

I have done plenty of research on HIV, it's a specialty of mine actually, so I am not simply restating what Dr. HHH has said on numerous occasions, although I do hold him in very high regard and would not profess to be an expert like him. When I say that HIV is rare in women in the United States, that applies to all women including ones that are very promiscous. The fact that this particular woman doesn't practice consistent condom use doesn't provide enough information to put her in a high risk category for HIV. What would place her in that category would be if she were an injection drug user or the regular sex partner of an HIV-infected man. Simply the fact that she is promiscuous and doesn't use condoms doesn't make her a significant HIV risk, because most unsafe heterosexuals will go their entire lives without seriously risking HIV infection. Of course, the same cannot be said for gay men who don't use condoms for sex and injection drug users who share needles, who can pretty much expect to catch HIV one day. Even if we were to be ultra conversative in assessing lumbo's risk and assume a 10% chance his female partner was infected and a 1 in 1000 chance of him being infected from his 1 minute encounter, that still leaves him with a 1 in 90,000 chance of having been infected. Again, those odds are even lower because the risk his partner was infected are far lower than 10% and his risk of getting HIV from such a short exposure are less than 1 in 1000. Hardly a high risk situation.

And your question about whether all this an excuse not to use condoms is too stupid to even answer, so I won't waste my time with it.

We all make mistakes.  You got caught up in the moment....I mean we are not meant to have something wrapped around our peckers when primal instincts take over.  Your risk was slightly higher imo, but short in duration so I am confident you are ok.  A 6 -8 week test should be fine.  I definitely think you should test though......
