Question: Hello doctor
I had sex with a prostitute on the 25 August (vaginal with lambskin candom, didn't know that they are not protective, she sucked my dick with out candom, oral kissing just lips)
On the 10th of September I had sex with another one (she sucked my dick with candom and vaginal with candom) I sucked their tits too.
On the 12 or 13 of September a numbness started in my upper and lower limbs with tingling and it got worsened with time, I have sore throat little pain beneath my lower jaw.
I did the following:
1- on the 16 of September I went to IM doctor for full Medical checkup she checked for vitamins HIV (4th generation),syphilis and some other tests) all normal (negative)
2- on the 18th of September I couldn't sleep for two nights and I did Vitamint b12 and RNA PCR HIV test. All normal (negative)
3- on the 19th of September went to another IM doctor she checked my tests results and said "u don't have HIV" go rest and she prescribed clonazepam to help me sleep.

Brief Answer:
You are absolutely free from HIV.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM.
You had protected vaginal intercourse with all the prostitutes and all your test results after 4 weeks are also negative so you need not to worry about HIV at all because you are absolutely risk free.
The risk of HIV from oral sex is very less so do not get worried or tensed about. Just calm down your self, forget about the incidences and move ahead in life happily. Wishing you happy and healthy life.
As such no testing is required but still to relieve the anxiety you can go for repeat testing after 3 month to get 100% conclusive result. Consider counseling services with the help of psychiatrist if needed.
As your friend I will also advice you to avoid or stay away from such unsafe practices to prevent future risk of HIV or other STDs. For any further query get back to me any time and I am here to help you.
Thank You
You are absolutely free from HIV.

So what is the percentage that I don't have HIV either 1 or 2?
Sorry Doctor for asking too many Qs but I'm too worried.
I did the biggest mistake in my life and I swear I won't do it again.
And can HIV pass through condom?

Hello Dr. Regarding the first sex I found out that it was by using natural latex condom.
The second sex I don't know what was the condom that she brought and I did not chech for its integrity ( didn't chech if there was cuts or tears)
One mor test that I just did is a Combo HIV test on the 28th of September (34 days after the first sex and 18 days after the second sex)
For symptoms now I think only a little swollen sub mandible or tonsillitis or both I don't kno
What do u think, can I relay on these test results and not to redo any test?

Brief Answer:
The result is reliable.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXX,
Welcome to HCM once again.
HIV combo test done after 2 weeks of exposure is considered reliable and accurate so you need not to worry and you had done protects sex then there is very unlikely possibility of getting any infection.
Tonsillitis or mandibulitis can be due to any other viral or bacterial infection not related to HIV in any way. Consult ENT surgeon to isolate the cause and follow the treatment regime, you will be fine soon.
Thank You
