HIV symtom on me...please explain..

Dr,

On 8 july 2010, I do a very stupid things. I am having sex with a sex worker. This is my first time having sex with sex worker.

This is my condition:
  
We doing protected sex but she provide the condom. Im not sure what is the brand but i think it is Durex.

After that I ask her to do oral sex on me without protection about 5 minute until I cum inside her mouth. I am afraid if before me, she is been given oral sex to other customer and cum inside her mouth and maybe some still there inside her mouth that would transfer to me through her mouth...we also do a deep kissing about 1 minute.

When i ask her to perform oral sex on me, first she offer to do it with condom but stupidly i ask her to perform without condom.

A week after the exposure, i am having symtom of hiv which i read from google which is i think is stupid didnt help at all. After 2 week I go for blood test and the result is negative.

After i go for the test, I hv been working in qatar in construction site work with cement and chemical liquid. After go back to my home town, my hand feel pain and is like turning to red... when I rub my hand it easy turning to red and will dissapear in 30 minute maybe. I also having a diarrhea and sore throat and cough. This diarrhea last fo 1 week and stop and come again but only for short period (1 day -3). I also not feel good in my throat. I also lost my weight....i think until now I lost 5 kg..from 93kg my real weight. I lost my appetite to eat.

On 5 week 5 days, i go for another blood test for HIV1&2/Hep/Siphilis but all came out negative.

My Question is:

1) what is my risk?  

2) Is all the symtom i got is becouse of HIV symtom?

3) Is the test on 5 week 5 days result is a good indicator of not having HIV or not?

4) Is it safe to have sex with my wife with condom protected and kissing with her?

Please help me Dr and thank you.

Thanks Dr for the reply.

So is it means my test for 5 week 5 days is a good sign.

Do you think I need to get another test on 8 week?

I can feel the lymph node growing between my leg. But only one side. I dont know soon what will happen to me?

Welcome to the forum. From the title of your question, before I read anything else, I suspect you are worried about symptoms even though you have had a negative HIV test.  If so, you can stop worrying.  Test results always overrule symptoms and exposure history, if the test is done more than a few weeks after exposure.  So before I even read the question, I'm pretty sure you don't have HIV.

Now I have read the question.  I nailed it!  To your specific questions:

3) I'm answering this first because it is most important:  You did not catch HIV.  A negative test is almost 100% proof .

1) Almost no risk for HIV.

2) Your symptoms are not due to HIV.  Not even close.  And the negative test result proves it.

4) Of course no distant expert can guarantee someone isn't infected.  But if I were in your situation, I would continue unprotected sex with my wife without fear.  (And kissing of course is no risk.  HIV is not transmitted by kissing.)

Bottom line:  All is well.  You did not catch HIV.

Regards--  HHH, MD
