Risk High?

Morning All,

Look for some advise or help if at all possible?

Exactly 15 days I go, I slept with a sex worker in the UK. I wore protection however I had shaved all my pubic hair off just a few hours earlier & when shaving there was a little blood when doing so.
When I was having sex with her after about 30 seconds I noticed a spot of blood just about 2 or 3 inches up from my penis so I stopped & when I took off the condom I noticed a spot of blood not just at the start of the shaft where it joins my body. I don't know if the blood was mine or hers?
I immediately went & washed...
Since about 3 days ago I've had a terribly sore throat which feels swolen & feeling really bunged up & now I'm petrified....

please help

You had protected sex. So you were not at risk. And I do not think this is your first time to have sex with an escort. If you are sexually active it would be prudent to test every 3-6 months for your own health. Im not saying your infected because of this. But it would be wise to do so if you are sexually active. And even if you just shaved and vaginal fluid gets on you. It is not a risk. Because hiv needs access to your blood stream. And once hiv is exposed to air it is no longer infectious. Attached is a risk chart for unprotected sex. Do not go symptom hunting if you remain concerned get tested. Nothing more nothing less. Good luck!
