sex with a Sex Worker

I went out drinking and ended up at a German Strip Club and found out they offer a full service.  She provided the condom and lube and we did the deed lasted about five minutes and went about our marry way.  I looked at the condom and it didn't appear to be broken.  I woke up the next day my balls were aching, penis and scrotum had a rash like yeast infection.  I am worried that I might have contracted something.  It has been roughhly five days and I have been using Lotrimin and it has desipated a little bit it is no longer a 9 in pain scale but a 4.  What are the chances it is HIV?  Is it possibly an allergic reaction to the condom lube?  What do you think?

Swollen testicles have subsided but a week a go I developed swollen lymphnodes and I have been having a low grade fever typically around 100.  I have bad Candiasis and I am freaking out still about HIV.  My last sexual encounter was 16 Aug and I am looking for anything this might be. Are these symptoms of ARS?

I understand what you are telling me and I hope you are right.  I just want to know why my neck glands are swollen.  My testicles are still swollen going on a month now.  What could this be.  Could it be herpes?  Does this cause fevers and does it last this long?

All right here is the deal.  I was given Doxycycline 100 Mg twice daily for 14 days because of my testicles being enlarged. I took all the doses  and on the 14th day my testicles are still enlarged and now I feel the lymphnodes in my neck are enlarged and I have a tempeture of a 100 degrees.  My pee smells horrible and smells sickening.  I went back to the doctor and he perscribed me levaquin 500 mg.  

Could these symptoms be result of the STD or worse HIV 24 days after exposure to sex worker?

I think it is highly unlikely that you contracted Chlamydia from this encounter. You said the symptoms appeared the following day, but the disease needs time to develop. If you were never tested for it you could have had it for months or even years before the symptoms showed up (and the next day is impossible).

I would say that is true but I have never had my testicles swell up before. It hurt to even walk. It would be nice if that was true though.

You probably got a false positive or had this infection from before.

You can highly doubt it but thats what happened.  It sucks because truthfully, I am mad at myself for being so stupid to do such a thing.  I am a married man and luckily she is gone but if I got HIV then I not only cheated myself out of a life but I cheated herself out of a husband.  I know my actions didn't speak louder than my words but I really do love my wife and didn't really get any enjoyment out of what I did.  I fekt guilt everyday even after the ordeal.  I am not going to to tell the wife and I will live with the shame.  I jsut got to et the HIV test back before she comes back on NOV 1st.  That should give me a solid 2 months to see if I am HIV free.

I agree but I don't understand why the hec my testicles are hurting.  Usually my mind would play tricks on me but my testicles are swollen as well.  I am gogin to get tested when ti gets the time but I don't know if it is an STD or just yeast.

I can tell you that you DID NOT have an HIV RISK at all,  Reason is because you had protected sex and the condom DID NOT fail.  If a condom fails you will for sure know it as it will burst and your penis would no longer be covered. THIS DID NOT HAPPEN TO YOU!

Protected Sex = ZERO RISK for HIV

The rash could be due to allergic reaction but not due to HIV

Hope this helps

Best Wishes
