getting STD or HIV from protected sex and handjob
I'm a 23 yr old male which i think i did my dumbest thing in my life. About 2 weeks ago, i had sex with a sex worker. First of all, i had protected sex and then i couldn't ejaculate and then after she took off the condom and gave me a "hand job". Just 2 days ago i caught a flu and now i'm scared to hell and have seen some bumps in the foreskin.
I was wondering if i have any risk of catching HIV or STD of this experience?
Pls answer ASAP. I'm so scared to hell and i'm can't sleep neither eat anymore.

You can test for gonorrhea, chlamydia, and NGU at a week.
Test for syphilis at 6 weeks, and herpes at 4 months (many develop antibodies sooner, and will therefore test positive sooner, but this varies from person to person).
However, none of this is sounding like an std.
Follow up with your doctor regarding the headaches if they are not responding to meds.

But what are the timelines to get tested for STDs and HIV since i rather get tested and give me some reassurance. HIV is three months but what about the STD testing? I've been getting headaches for the whole day ever since my flu and after taking tylenol, the headaches won't go away.

If you had protected sex, and then a handjob, you can't get HIV.
Herpes and HPV sores/bumps wouldn't typically appear on the foreskin - that sounds like a fungal infection to me.

The risk of contracting HIV from your experience seems very low. The bumps can just be irritation (please provide more details); but they wouldn't be an indication of HIV. Don't worry so much, it's important to get tested to make sure you don't have anything, and if you do, get treated accordingly.
Not sleeping and not eating is only going to make your flu worse and will contribute to your worries. You need to rest and eat so your body remains strong and can fight off the flu virus, so you can start feeling better.
If you have any more questions or have more details, feel free to post back.
