worried sick

[unforgiven2011]

About 4 - 5 weeks ago, I had protected sex with a girl I hardly knew. The thing is, we were both really drunk so im not sure if we had exchanged any harmful body fluids during intercourse. I also have a cavity / ingrown wisdom tooth which developed a sore around that area of my mouth. I fear that I may also risk contracting HIV because of that sore... I have confronted her about this, and she showed me a home HIV test which came out negative - but I cant trust those results.

I have decided to go for an RNA test, but im not sure if 4 - 5 weeks is enough time to get an accurate result.

I am really really stressing to a point were I cant sleep or concentrate. I recently started experiencing muscle spasms and itchiness mostly on my arms with no signs of rash. I havnt felt any flu like symptoms or anything related to HIV as yet but the I am still panicking.

I dont know if im worrying to much... this stress is really unbearable.  Any advise would be appreciated.

If you correctly remember that you used protection and it did not fail, you have no reason to worry about. Oral sex has nothing to do with HIV transmission.

However if you don't, you gave to test after 6-7 weeks of exposure and a follow up test after another 6 weeks.PCR RNA test after 4 weeks could be highly reassuring but not conclusive, and for that, you have to go for Antibody tests as advised.

Next time, keep your one night stands away from alcohol, they are never in a good synergy. Choose only one out of the two, alcohol and a pertner of unknown status.

You never had an exposure in the situations you've provided.
