protective sex with sex worker
Hi doc,
i had protective oral and vaginal sex with a sex worker 3 weeks ago. After that for four nights i had irregular sleeps and mild headaches during afternoon for 3-4 days. I visited a doctor and he gave me some tranquilizers. It all became normal. after 2 weeks my left testicles started paining without any swelling. Ultrasound showed normal and it became normal without any medication. I have now some feeling of sore throat and my body temperature goes upto 99.1 degree F. I have already given my blood samples for HIV ELISA results are awaiting. but i am living in constant fear. Can you help me know what are the risk of getting infected with protective vaginal sex when condom did not break.
Thanks in advance

No risk no need to test.
Hi,
Condom protected sex is safe sex assuming it was a latex condom and did not break. You do not need to even test except for psychological reassurance - Your symptoms are consistent with anxiety and that itself is enough to give you all kinds of symptoms. An HIV duo test at about 4 weeks is all you need for seeking comfort.

since you had a protected sex , there is nothing to worry. Symptoms does not mean anything incase of hiv.
