concerned again

two weeks ago I went to the barber shop and had a shave with a straight razor and I was told by the barber that he replaced the razor with a new disposable one prior to cutting my hair.  A week later I received five little red bumps on the back and side of my calfs(spelling) that itched badly.  They went away a wssk later.  I didn't think anything of it.  I was introduced to a girl by a family member and a close friend of hers.  We hung out and got drunk.  We had unprotected sex. She claimed to have not been intimate with anyone for over a year with he ex-husband. A week after the encounter I have been getting dry mouth but no spots and a slight head problem.  (best described as as a hangover feeling but really really light) no dizzyness no fever and no head ache.  All these things combined........could this be ars?  Thank in advance.

Again symptoms mean nothing.
You had a risk because you had unprotected sex. 3 months conclusive test. Talk to the woman have her test that might help you out some.

I understand.  Wat are the chances? My risk of exposure?  How long does it take the virus to die in the open air?

Symptoms mean nothing. Test 3 months post exposure and use condoms in the future.

I also forgot to add that I also feel slightly tired more than usual.
