Dear ...,
My situation -

One day I had a protected vagina sex with a sex worker. This was only one & first sex with prostitute.

HIV ELISA TEST after 6-7 weeks, 3.5 months that come negative.

But after 6.5 months (28 weeks/194 days) I suffered fever, cold, sore throat, headache, muscle pain & pneumonia etc (7-8 days) that type of disease is really very new experience for me. After this, I marriaged a girl. After 1 month, my wife infected fever & flu (3-4 days). Now, my wife is pregnant. Then, I again start to get hiv concern! Even, I am afraiding to take an hiv test again? I went an STD doctor. For my again hiv test fear, he advice me CBC test that come good (Lymphocyte 34%).

And 13 March, 2011 HIV STRIPT TEST (after 2 years) that come negative.

Am I in a risk still now? Please, answer my question.

Move on. He didn't have an exposure and doesn't need testing.

The HIV prevalence in Bangladesh is quite low.
Not all , sex workers have HIV , but it is true quite a high proportion of them have it but again high for HIV would be anything above 1 % , so in my estimation an average of around 4-7 % of all sex workers in Bangladesh might be HIV positive , but you used protection which again is only 97 % effective , but the odds are you did not get HIV as you took 2 HIV tests and one at a period of 2 years which is quite satisfying enough.
Symptoms are not very indicative of an infection i had about 10 HIV related tests all more than 6 months post my last unprotected sex encounter with a girl of unknown status and not its like 16 months post exposure and i had 2 DNA PCR tests that look for the virus itslef rather than antibodies and sensitive antibody tests all negative and later on i got tested for EBV which came back positive and which caused my fatigue.So please go tested for EBV virus and if it positive , you will know that is causing your symptoms and EBV is much more common and affects 90 % of all adults before the age of 40.
