hiv exposure, please help

[george4488]

So what brings me here is about four days ago I had sex with a transexual sex worker. Needless to say I was pretty drunk and have never done anything like this before. So I gave her oral with no condom there was no ejaculation of any sort. As I read this is a no risk situation as you put in an older post. Then I had anal sex with her where she was receiving. During that time the condom did break. We felt it break and immeditaly stopped and put a new one on. About 15 hrs after this incident I started to get a headache and feel hot.My temp is pretty normal as i've been checking highest 98.4. I've had muscle twtiching some diarrea, and a real bad headache that seemed to finally subside to day which is five days after the incedent. Could I have gotten hiv are my worries legitamte. I can't stand waiting and decided to not to do a pcnr test. and get my first oral swab test at three weeks. then again at four or five weeks. Also what do you they mean by open cuts because I have psorasis and have dry skin. And later after I got head with protection after the anal sex I noticed I had a skin tear just below my head. It started to burn for about five or ten minutes as I was leaving but at the time I just brushed it off.Since the encounter I've head a on and off persistant headache, muscle twitching, feeling hot, little bit of diahrea, and stomach and gut pains.  Can you please tell me what my risks actually where and how worried I should be?

thanks for the comment lydia. I will look into that. But first I just can't wait for my results. I don't know about AA but I should probabbly quit drinking and pick a new hobby.  Monday my results should  be in hopefully it's negative I'll let you guys know.

Since you have about 2 1/2 months before your CONCLUSIVE results are back, why not use this time to deal with some of the issues you've discussed.

You mention that you drink way too much and it's gotten you to the place you're at now. Maybe this would be a good time to call it quits? Think about checking out some AA meetings. You don't HAVE to be an alcoholic to go.............you just have be concerned about your drinking, which you are. I think you'll also find some friendship there that you also say is missing from your life. People there listen, they understand, they don't judge, and they care.

You might also want to consider seeing your doctor for a really thorough physical check up, and while you're there, you can discuss some of this emotional baggage you're hauling around. I think it would be a really good and positive step for you to ask for a referral to a therapist. I think you've got a lot of hurt and anger inside you and it's manifesting itself in a lot of negative, destructive and risky behaviors like the drinking and prostitutes. It's obviously causing you a great deal of unhappiness and anxiety. And all these things are fixable. But YOU gotta reach out. You gotta want that change.

You can use this time to begin those changes, George.

You can stay in the pit or you can start climbing out............isn't your life worth the effort to at least try?  

I think it is.

well went to the clinic today getting tested for everything.
syphillis
herpes
gonoreaha/ clamidia
and I got a hiv dna test also so hopefully it comes back negative. And the blister I got on my penis was pretty much gone when I saw the doctor. So she didn't know what to make of it. She was smoking hot also, probabbly one of the most embarassing moments of my life. Well wish me luck I should get my results in 2-4 bussiness days.

If it comes back negative, I got two antibody test on the way. When do you think I should take them besides the three month marker?

Thanks for commenting/listening hope I'm negative.
