Protected sex with a sex worker.

[mtoname]

I had a protected sex with a prostitute. What are my chances to get HIV?
I am white circumcized men.
The sex started as vaginal sex with a condom, after she took off a condom and continued with a hand and a lubricant, after she took a towel, wipe up the lubricant and we used another condom to continue vaginal sex.

Symptoms appear in 2 days as throat pain, after i started to feel running nose and dry cough.
Temperature 37-37.2


My Doctor prescribed me antibiotics against flu.

As the result:
In 28 days after encounter.
My temperature becomes 36.6, i still have a dry cough, feeling of tiredness, and my palms and legs are getting wet. I had a lot of stress during days after encounter.


- in 6 days after encounter I took
10 Test Panel test which includes  (Chlamydia Test Gonorrhea Test Hepatitis A Test Hepatitis B Test Hepatitis C Test Oral Herpes Test Genital Herpes Test HIV Antibody Test Syphilis Test)
And the result was Negative.

-in 12 days after encounter i took HIV RNA Early detection test gave Negative result.

- in 15 days i went to doctor and took another fast HIV test which came Negative.

My question is:
Should i still worry about possible HIV infection?
How accurate is HIV RNA early detection test.

Hi, if you did not have a risk to start with, that of protected sex, no matter when you test, the result would be negative and that would not change over time.  If someone had risked HIV transmission but unprotected anal or vaginal sex or sharing of needles, there is a guideline for when to test.  When that guideline is met, a negative result will not change.  Meaning, if they wait the appropriate amount of time, the results are conclusive and they can trust them.  Your result will never change as you did not risk HIV.  Our members have provided you information and support and answered your question so we are now closing this discussion.  We wish you the best of health.

You never had a risk for HIV and do not need to test.

Symptoms are never used to diagnose HIV.

Please educate yourself about HIV and safe sex. The more you know, the less anxious you will be.

And i took a 4th generation test 28 days after possible exposure and it took negative for everything ( 10 test panel).
Can this be conclusive?  

[worried_canada]

100 % conclusive as you dont even have a risk at the fist place. You dont have HIV. Move on.

[mtoname]

But does
HIV RNA early detection test ( at 11 days) and 4h Generation HIV test ( at 28 days) can bring accurate results?

[malbat]

You have tested for your peace of mind. Yes. Your test result is accurate. Trust your result and move on. You never had a HIV concern.

[mtoname]

Yeah i know, but it`s better to be sure about your health and you tests , i never want to harm another people.

I have one more question.

For example if the person have hiv infection for couple weeks.
Does this infection will appear in the HIV RNA early detection test results, or it can be hidden( non active) for longer period?
I mean that his results looks negative, but he is actually got infected.
Thank you for your response.
