scared ! can some one please guide me ?

hello !
i am 24 years living with a benefit of doubt having HIV ! is this ARS ??


last month i had gone to for trip for almost 15days ! i smoke occasionally and during this trip i smoked various different brands !

day 8 - 18th May 2015
i ended losing my virginity
i ended up having sex with sex worker !
i was high ! i was exposed for the first time !

firstly i had ORAL for about 7-8mins ( condom was put on ) (uncircumcised penis)
before penetrating she kinda put some lubrication into herself !
then i started penetrating her for about 1-2mins ! i felt the condom tore ! i removed it ASAP ! then she started giving me  ORAL ! as i was high i dont remember anything !

then i headed to italy ! where i was on ice creams and pizzas and smoked different brands

back to home town

after couple of days i started feeling difficulties in swallowing food ! thus i was having sore throat
i was scared as i read one of symptoms of hiv is sore throat

i just have sore throat as of now with little headache !i feel some thing irritating in my throat like as if i need vomit or something !

i was put on to medicine by doctor yesterday but still being very tensed !

can some one help me out with my questions running in my head ? due to this i havent slept since so long!
i feel so bad !



when can i get myself tested ?

You were at some risk but the odds of transmitting HIV from female to male is 1/2000, the odds are in you're favour, get tested.
You're chance of getting HIV is low,, get tested at 15 day mark by HIV PCR RNA test, or by p24 antigen + antibody duo combo test at 28 day mark, either of the two results will be conclusive.

Hi, if the condom broke, take the Duo at 28 days.
