Unprotected sex 4 times in southeast asia with 4 differnt partners.

I was with four different women unprotected.  I am experiencing different symptoms 2-3 months after; Cold sores, swollen glands and red tenderness with some skin peeling around my fingernails.  I'm worried to death, but I know I have to wait 3 months to get tested.  Just kinda wondering what my odds are I guess.  I hope you can reasure me somehow.  Please let me know.

A risk is a risk and you need to test. I assume your potential might have been with a CSW like most posters here.

That being said, HIV prevalence is not the same for all CSWs in South East Asia (e. g., based on serious current research, close to zero with a licensed csw in Singapore vs sky high for a transgender street walker in Bangkok) and HIV remains a difficult virus to catch. But a risk is a risk. Suggestion without lecture: condom next time.

You need to get tested. Get a hiv duo test at 28 days or an antibody test at 6 weeks, you would get a good indication of your status. Cant reply on odd's while dealng with hiv.
