What's my chances i've got HIV
Please advise, here's my story.
I'm happily married with 2 young children and yet recently i went on a lads weekend to spain and ended up smashed on vodka and having sex with a prostitute (HIV status unknown) - what an idiot!. A Condom was used but it wasn't rolled down quite all the way to the base of my penis. I have a small patch of psoriasis at the base of my penis that was probably not covered. Whilst i would not say it was an open sore, it was a bit raw/very small scab. The sex was very brief, a couple of minutes at most (i wouldn't imagine there was much vaginal fluids involved but must have been some all the same) and was finished off with quite an aggresive hand job, again using a fresh condom not quite rolled down all the way. At the end of the hand job the patch of psoriasis was quite raw.
I'm wracked with guilt over this act of madness, i can't possibly risk passing HIV onto my wife. I've booked in for an early HIV test using a new dna technique next week (11 days after the possible exposure).
If the prostitute has HIV then what are the chances of me getting HIV as a result of her vaginal fluids/secretions getting into my blood stream through the psoriasis patch?
I guess i'm looking for an olive branch but any advice welcome.

Had you took the time to read the very first thread on this forum you wouldn't have needed to post a question. It's not like you are the only person asking questions.
Well Teak, whilst i appreciate that you did respond to my post, you are a man of few words and didn't really expand on anything you said i.e. you made a statement but didn't back it up with any further info. e.g. your "No it isn't" comment.
I'm not trying to make an argument, but if your responding to posts then all i'm saying is you could have given fuller answers to help allay any fears.
I'd just like to say thanks again for the responses you did give though.

You didn't have a reason to believe that you would get anything other than a negative did you? You never had an exposure and were told several times.
Had the test (96% accurate) and got a negative result, phew! Thanks for all the advice.
Let me ask a question to clarify please.
So you guys think that vaginal fluids/secretions coming into contact with psoriasis patch/scab/sore on penis shaft is a no exposure scenario??

That sound great to me, i'm chuffed about that. If you don't mind tho, can i ask how your so sure bearing in mind that i've been reading info on websites that state that the infection can be spread from vaginal fluids to a cut or sore on penis shaft. I'd really appreciate it if you could expand a little on your answer please.
