similar.. if not the same thing i had to go through...  read my thread titled
"Condom broke on HIV positive sex worker"

turns out.. chances of you contracting hiv is not as high as u might think.. and dont worry too much about any symptoms.. because you CANNOT tell other than getting a blood test..

if you are the ultra anxious type like me.. dont bother with any test earlier than 3 mnths.. becoz it will only allay ur anxiety for a couple of days at most..

my humble opinion.. all the best

3 months is conclusive
take a test at 6 weeks that will be more reasurring
