HIV Risk!!
This may sound highly repetitive but I would like to decribe my exposure while in Thailand... This was during an interaction with 2 CSW around 3 weeks ago... We got to my hotel room and one of them started massaging me with a lotion that smelt like a mointurizing lotion.. Following which we went for a bath.. She proceeded with giving me a shower and also cleaned and touched my genitals including urethra.. did not notice and wounds or cuts or blood on her hand.. We then went on the bed and I requested for a protected blowjob.. I provided a condon (durex flavoured) then one CSW began to suck and the other was kissing me and i kissed her breats... This must have lasted for between 7-10 mins.. She then removed the condom and cleaned my penis with toilet paper..(could that be infected).. We then proceeded to shower and again she cleaned my penic and urethra... I had recently also got my lasik eye correction surgery done 10 days prior and had follwed the post care intructions of my doctor for 1 week.. I did not check if the condom was intact it dint seem broken... She also touched my face and probably my eye...
I have been feeling alot of fear anxiety and stress... Not to mentioned a throat infection.. There seems to be rashes on my left arm but they could be heat boils and 1-3 red dots on my body... I have not eaten in 2 days and feel itcy lethargic, fereish, vomity, muscles aches and seem to have swollen lymph nodes...
I know the forum states no risk for HIV for receiving fellatio but other places state a low risk. Would you reccomend taking doctors advice or getting tested? What do u make of my symptoms.. Please advice

Teak, I got myself tested today and the result was negative.. You were right that i dint have an exposure but fear and anxiety makes your mind go to another place... Just want to congratulate you with your great work! god bless you!
I went to see the doctor and he checked me and mentioned that i was at very low risk... He checked my sore throat and prescribed 3 day course of zitromax (azitromycin).
Quote his exact words - "I personally think that you have zero chance of contracting HIV from your encounter. I think you need a HIV test for peace of mind. You are obviously very worried and I do not think any amount of reassurance will get rid of your fears. In fact, my worry for you is the other way round i.e. you will continue to worry about HIV even after being tested negative. Anxiety is a very bad thing. What I think you should do is to wait till 28 days then get the combo test. I hope that will finally put all your worries to rest."
Thank you for your advise Teak - but anxiety is very hard to control.. I have spent the last few days only reading about HIV and hardly if anything to eat and feel cold when the temperature is 34 degrees

i dont mean to offend you but fear and doubt is the only reason im concerned... I understand that i may not have put myself at risk but the symptoms are driving me crazy. I appreciate your guidance!
doctor has recommended testing.. you think its because of a risk or to ease my anxiety??
Today my skin all over my body has tunred red and i have a strange burning irritation on the body.. Please advice is this a sign of ARS.. How would you define ARD symptoms?? I am also feverish...
If you have STD questions you need to post them in the STD forum. You do not have an HIV concern.
Thanks Teak... I shall go with your assessment as of what iv read my risk is zero or close to zero.. I however do not want to put my partner at risk if i was at risk.. Thus i wanted a second opinion.. I know it sounds foolish that when there are no documented cases can i be the first but fear and anxiety drive u to think of the what ifs... Would anybody have another opinion...
Teak your responses are much appreciated and carry on the good work.. cheers!!

so you think its fine for me to continue unprotected sex with my partner or should i wait 3 months for testing?
So you reccommend my symptoms are due to fear and anxiety? I have just got an HIV test done last Feb which was negative (NR).. This is my only act post that...
