My first sexual encounter that I deeply regret

[5ateya]

I come from a conservative society and we do not have sex before marriage. One night I was very depressed so I went to a bar and had a lot of drinks. A prostitue came to me and I found myself going with her to her house. She give me an oral before puting the condom on. Then I had vaginal sex with her with a condom on during which I fingered her labia. I touched her labia with my tongue for no more that a second. Excuse me for all the details which I regret writing. Next day I woke up and I couldn't beleive what happened. I had diarrhea for the next 10 days, I couldn't eat, I lost my appetite, nausea, and mild fever. I am scared I have contracted HIV. Sometimes I feel tingling in my groins and I am out of order. Friends and family are confused why am I so quiet and depressed but I cannot share my fears with them.

I am just out of all this anxiety.. Had a negative at 16 weeks ( ELISA)..

Listen dude.. if the symptoms started the very next day.. then it cannot be HIV..
because : the symptoms start when u are seroconverting. When will you seroconvert? Anshwer : When the HIV virus reaches a sufficient level in your body, which takes around 10 days or so.. Seroconverting on the very next day is next to impossible.. Read up anywhere on the internet.. everywhere it says 2-3 weeks is the normal range.

I would suggest you to go to the best hospital in your city and ask for an ELISA test, which is very specific and much more accurate than these Rapid Tests...

First and only exposure was in that night that I did not even enjoy.
I did not even climax and I just left all of a sudden.

Hi 5ateya,

My heart is with you. I understand what you are going through now, because i myself have no where to go and no one to turn to, too, except for this forum, and my local hiv cousellor, whom i do not want to bother too much, except for her to be with me when i go for my test.

You were very sure that the condom was intact, that is very good news, assuming you had no other exposures other than that one, your situation has a very very good outlook.

All the best ok?


May God bless you.

Hi 5ateya,

Yah, and regarding your weakly positive rapid test, take note of this phrase in the article i showed you.

"17 of the 229 samples were weakly positive on rapid testing and all were negative or indeterminate by WB. The false-positive rate fell to 3.3% (95%CI 1.3–6.7) when only strong-positive rapid test results were considered. "

Hope this can help to calm your anxiety down till monday.

All the best.

May God bless you.
