Protect sex with csw

[Afterdark2122]

Hey Jan 20 I had protected oral and vaginal sex with a csw! About 10 days later I started to feel sick had a fever,headache,congested nose and sneezing and one swollen lymph node I could feel I also shaved before the encounter could a shaving cut put me at risk if the cut was on the underside of penis shaved around 5pm encounter was at 12am is there any risk is testing necessary, I did test for Covid with a rapid test and it was positive! Could hiv cause the test to go positive tho ? Thanks for your time

You didn't have a risk for HIV, and you have previously been advised that protected sex isn't a risk for HIV: https://www.medhelp.org/posts/HIV-Prevention/Protected-sex-with-CSW/show/3069852

What about the shaving cuts ? Could those pose a risk if not covered by condom ? If they went inside ?

The only risks for HIV in adults are:
1) Having unprotected (no condom) penetrative anal or vaginal sex, OR
2) Sharing IV drug equipment with other IV drug users.

Nothing else you can think of is a risk for HIV. HIV does not enter the bloodstream via minor cuts and scrapes that do not require EMERGENCY medical attention.

Thanks so getting sick was just a coincidence and probably was actually Covid

Since you tested positive for COVID when you were sick, I don't know why anyone would think it was anything BUT COVID.

If you can't visit CSWs without having anxiety-driven fears about HIV afterward, perhaps you should consider whether sex with CSWs is the right choice for you.
