Hi All,
3 weeks ago I had my first and most regretful prostitution exposure with an unknown women. it was a protected sex with condom, both oral and penetration were with condom, but I did touch her vaginal and I also took out the condom by my hand, then I remember I did touch my penis before I wash my hand, am I at risk of getting HIV? Right after that, I was so regretful and I was feeling so sorry to my wife and my 10 months old baby. I soon realize I had made the biggest mistake in my life. Then I started worrying about getting HIV, that women is quite weird, obviously she gave birth as can find her tummy wrinkle, and I am also curious as she has extremely wrinkle and sag breasts at her age about 23-25 I guess, is this something to do with HIV? Then from that day onwards, I feel scare and I start searching in the Internet. What is the worst part is on the next day I had some rashes on my leg or tight with some tiny red dots, I was alone oversea in business trip, I quickly call to my skin doctor and he said that is nothing to do with HIV, it is sensitive skin. Then 2 days after that I feel cold and end up fever and night sweats, I was then freaking scare about the symptom I have, I feel tired and it tooks 3 days for me to start recover. I then decided to go home from oversea, I was helpless, then I went back to my country to see my doctor, he assured me I am not HIV infected, he told me there is no need for a test, bcoz I describe the whole process, and I used condom during oral sex and penetration, but still I insist for a test as I need to make sure my wife and baby do not get transmitted, then 2 weeks after the exposure, I went for the Viral RNA test, which is the shortest window period (9-14days) I tested it on the day 15th after exposure, and it will take 1 week to get the result, the result will be available in these few days, I am now getting more and more worried. and the worst worst thing is that I had a similar fever, tired, and night sweat AGAIN yesterday! this is killing me, this is convincing me that I had infected with HIV, I do not know what to do, I do not know how to face my family, my wife started to feel it and she does not know what happened and she found I am very weird recently. Just few more days I m going to get the result, I am now very fearful, i am dieing, I am so afraid that the test result shows positive, and I will be going alone, I have no one to talk to, I am afraid of losing my family and I am so concern about my family, bcoz it will be a heart breaking news, which they will never ever accept this. I am not prepared for this.
Yesterday, I went to see my doc, he refers me a psychiatrist, he says he is 100% sure that I am not infected, he asks me to forget about testing it, it will be never ending, he says after the test, I will not be satisfied, I will be keep testing and testing it for the rest of my life until I get a fight with my family. he asks me to start living and just be careful to use condom during sex, and the only test I need is after 6 months, do the antibody test. please help me, actually if not all these symptom, i am still feeling ok, I can still work and react normally, but all these symptoms are killing me and convincing me.
