ars symptoms followed by protected sex
Hello friends, couple weeks earlier i had sex with a prostitiute that was protected by a condom (she braught it with her and kept using lubrication while having sex} As according to me condom did not break. i remember 2-3 days before this incident i had a scratch on penis while trimming, i dont think condom covered this scratch as it was all the way at the end.. Anyways now exzctly 11 days later that is yesterday afternoon i started having sore throat followed by fever that started from 100 and went upto 103.4.last night. today this morning it seems to be normal 98.8. still have sore throat and body is tired. Kindly somebody tell me that was i at risk. and if these syptoms are anyway related to hiv.
Thanks for your help

NO RISK..
my fever is gone today. it started friday noon and is gone this morning (sunday). i was reading in the forums that ars symptoms last for at least a weak. is that right?
Also what i remember is that the prostitute braught me the towel after sex to clean my penis, is that any risk if she used that same towel to clean her vagina nad then i used it for my penis, towel was pretty small, so it could have that vaginal liquid on it. please please help me

not really its my symptoms
sounds like you are suffering from guilt...its NOT hiv.
dont mind but i think i have to go for a test, other wise i will become mad......already in great stress as my fever is not going...i am already in big time depression, searching online for cure and treatment, also thinking about my newly found love, i am avoiding all the phone calls, as i am depressed to a great extent, dont know wether to keep my eyes open or close, everything seems finished
Duly noted.
That's not how it's done in this forum. Testing is never recommended for no risks issue or those that have conclusive results to fullful there anxiety. Just stick to the facts.
Couldn't agree with you more Teak on this.
Sadly, a negative test result might be the only way to shake this unwarranted fear. On a lighter note, it would be cheaper than seeking out help from a mental health practitioner.

Don't waste your money and most of all resources to get tested for a non risk issue.
Symptoms are unreliable in diagnosing HIV. HIV tests conducted outside of the window period of three months are the only valid gauges on HIV infection.
But, you had protected sex. Your "what ifs" of the condom not covering a scratch on your penis does not change this.
If you remain worried, get a single HIV antibody test done outside the window period. This is only for your piece of mind and not because you had any risk.

No you didn't have a risk.
