Please help......

Hi all of you,
I had posted a question about a week ago. I got one response that I needed no testing.
My exposure was about 10 weeks ago with a Thai massage worker in bangkok.The only exposure i evr have had..Protected Vaginal and Unprotected Oral ( Both approx 30 secs). I also mentioned that I had no ARS symptoms except that I had started Diahrrea a week before the exposure and loose stools continue till today.Also I had done a CBC where everything was normal. I have certain questions
1. Is there a correlation between ARS symptoms and the WBC or Lymphocyte count. ( If u dont have ARS symptoms you also wont have abnormalities in ur CBC.
2. Is bleeding after stool also an indicator of ARS. I have had problems of hemorrhoids for the last 3 years. ANd it happens once in a while. It happened  twice during this 10 week period as well.Also had the IBS for 2-3 days. Just read somewhere that Gastrointestinal Hemmorage is also sometimes associated with Acute HIV.
Please help me out. I am not at all sure what is in there for me. I am completely freaked out.

If you are the unlucky one, you will be the one in 30 years. If you'll feel better, go take your test, collect your negative result and move on.

I know Teak you are a firm believer that Insertive Oral sex carries no risk. But Dr HHH & EWH assign some risk to it. Even I never knew that it had a risk involved. But now it feels that i may be that unlucky one in million. You being a paramedic could answer my specific questions in the previous post.
Thanks a lot in advance
