scared of hiv after sex with prostitute

[vikramadityabedi]

Hi doc, I am a 26 year old circumcised male. I was in Singapore 6 weeks back where I had sex ( vaginal intercourse ) with a Malaysian prostitute. She put a condom on me and gave me oral after which she came on top. Until then everything was okay, cause I remember seeing the condom intact when I turned over. Now I was on top for maybe 5 minutes, after which I came and went on for around 30 seconds more until she came. When I withdrew, I noticed the condom had broken and I had her *** all over my penis. She told me not to worry cause she got herself tested once every month and she asked me about my status and I said  I was negative. Now I am very scared and anxious. It has been six weeks and I have no symptoms. I would like to know what are the chances I might have contracted hiv. Please reply soon.

No man,  its a waste of your time and money, youve done a test, youre negative.  That means you dont have the HIV virus.  

Yes, there are cases where it has, for some reason taken longer than that to seroconvert (the point in time where your body has built up a significant number of antigens, after which you test positive)

I cant stress to you enough firstly:
the number of people with the same worry as you.
secondly: the utter remoteness of you having contracted HIV

EVEN IF THE GIRL WAS HIV POSITIVE (UNLIKELY!!) YOU WOULD STILL ONLY HAVE A 1 IN 1000 CHANCE OF CONTRACTING IT FROM THAT EPISODE.

Relax

Got tested at 6 weeks. Negative for HIV 1 and HIV 2. Do I need to get tested again at 12 weeks like many say or should I take the 6 week test to be conclusive

Very low risk, even if you knew for sure your partner was HIV infected (which she probably wasn't).  Get tested; 6 weeks is enough time for the test to become positive.
