Questions

I had a sexual contact with a prostitute in Crete, i used a condom but was intoxicated and wasnt 100% sure if it was intact at the end, it wasnt a long period of sexual contact.
Ive had lots of problems since this contact with what im still not sure about was a primary herpes outbreak, im currently not able to get tested.
My question is ive had a burning tip of tongue and sore throat now for weeks after a rash and burning that was all round my groin and inner legs the rash has gone but the sore throat and burning tongue will not subside,have a slight loss of apitete, but energy levels seems normal and my basic obs from a docotr have been ok.... is this a symptom of early hiv infection? im very worried.

1. Unlikely the condom broke without you knowing.
2. Most pros are NOT hiv positive
3. Chance of hiv from unprotected sex - 1/2000
4. Chances from protected - 0
5. Early hiv symptoms - High fever, rash, VERY sore throat. All come together around day 14 and all go away together. Last 2 days - 2 weeks.
6. Your symptoms are NOT ars.
7. You don't need testing but if you can't move past it get a test at 6 weeks and move on with your life...
