Worried to death I have contacted HIV

Doctor

made a stupid mistake in my life 2 weeks ago. went over to Tijuana and hit the bar scene and got loaded on tequila  and ended up at prostitution house and had sex with one girls.  I do remember the main items that occured, She started giving me unprotected oral sex and then she put a condom on me and we started having vaginal sex. I was really loaded on beer as she was too as I had bought her a few drinks when the condom came off my penis and she got on top of me with no comdom. We probably did this for 5 minutes before I realized the mistake I did and got up and left.

So the 1st couple of days of my experience, I tried to blush it off as if nothing would happen but all I could think about all day was what I had done and my family and If I am HIV positive . I started getting major anxioties and these kept getting worse as I have reading the internet and websites and blogs for 1st symptons of the HIV virus. At work, my mind is not all there as I just keeping about it more and more and looking for signs of it. I am shaking alot and cant keep still. Last friday I started felling fatigue and the next few days afterwards extremely fatigue,worried, shaking and my bones have started hurting me. I have never had any problems with bone pain or tension pain but I notice this is one of the systoms for HIV. THis week MOnday, Tuesday and Wed I would wake up and feel fatigue and while working I would run of of breath pretty easy and get tired quickly and my bones hurting, Even when I type, I can feel pain on the bones on my fingers. AT night I have been waken up 2-3- times unusual for me worried. I have not woken up with cold sweats. The last 3-4 days I have lost my appetite and I am hearing my stomach making growling noices now. I dont know if its because its hungry or if it may be HIV... I dont have any rashes. I do have verry little miccus which I have since before the encounter. I have not got any fevers. My main concern is the fatigue and thepain in mybones.

Yes. I went to see my doctor and to the lab this past friday and I have been tested and I am awaiting results now. My anxiety and nerves were at a all time high time and my doctor gave me anxiety pills to try to calm my nerves down. I did feel calmer all weekend and the pain on my bones and joints is not as severe as it was last week. Could this pain be due to the major anxiety? What are the chances of catching HIV with the one episode I had? Have not had any other symptoms but cant get this off my mind

Still worried---- Thanks

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
There is no doubt that there was a risk of HIV for you as you had unprotected penetration, and my advice to you is to get tested.  Symptoms are not reliable as they are not specific, and they are most likely exacerbated by your anxiety.  You could have a PCR RNA test straight away, or a Duo test after 4 weeks.
Best wishes,
Dr José
