Possible high risk

I thought I would share my experience of my current PEP treatment.

So it was my first trip to Thailand. After a visting a few bars and night clubs we ended up at this night club with a massive dance floor and free flowing alcohol. I ended up taking a local girl back to my hotel room that very morning. What happened next was very hazy.

I remember going down on her with no protection on her. I remember her giving me unprotected oral sex. I remember kissing her. I remember at one stage I had inserted my penis, unprotected, for about 80 sec before realizing I hadn't put a condom on. I remember after we had finished she picked up three condoms off the floor, with two looking like we hadn't used them at all. I do remember giving her money before she left.

I don't remember if we had protected sex before "80 sec incident". I don't remember if we continued having safe sex after the "80 sec incident" or just fell asleep. I can not remember if she had told me that she was HIV positive or negative. I cannot remember if she was a "street worker" or a "go go girl" or who she was.

That happened on the morning of the 4th of Feb (5-7am). By 9am on the 5th I visited "the tourist clinic" in Patong. After an interview with a Doc,I asked about the PEP treatment program. He recommended that I go on it straight away plus treatment for other possible STI's. So basically this what I had:
Rapid blood test for HIV - negative
Injection and medicine for Gonorrhea
Medicine for Chlamydia
Medicine for Herpes virus
AZT 300mg (zidovudine)
3TC 150mg (lamivudine)
(Ceftriazone injection, Ciprofloxacin, Acyclovir and Azithromycin) and
NO ALCHOL!

I have finish the tabs for chlamydia and herpes now. Whilst on these meds and the AZT and 3TC I was nausea (didn't vomited dispite 12 hours in a plane). I have constant diarrhea but sometime soft solids. My guts are always "talking" to me, sounds like I've eaten a bear! I do get an occasional pain around my liver and kidney areas. Sleep patterns are way off. Difficult to go for a run or a walk, feel exhausted. No headaches yet!

So after 9 days on PEP treatment I visited an Australian sexual clinic back home. They did a urine sample for chlamyida and gonorrhoea but also did a blood sample for Haemoglobin?? They said they will not do an HIV test as I'm only 9 days into the PEP treatment but I noticed it was on sheet of paper they sent to the pathology dept.

So why do a Haemoglobin test and do an early HIV test like this? Would this give a false positive due to all the drugs?

Help!

Just trust the doctors who are managing your care. They are more qualified.

So nobody can give an reason for the Haemoglobin test?
