Brief Answer:
NO HIV; you are clear; Relax and enjoy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome and thanks for posting your query to the forum.
I can understand your concern for possibility of HIV or any sexually transmitted disease after the protected intercourse with commercial sex worker.
I have thoroughly read the complete query and after analysis of the query with diligence let me first and foremost reassure you that you do not have anything related to HIV. Neither your tests show any symptoms of HIV and nor does your symptoms too.
So first of all just relax and take a deep breath of confidence that you are free form HIV.
Let em give you the valid explanation for the same:
First of all your contact was protected. I have never seen in my clinical practice to contract HIV by protected intercourse. Though there are reports of HIV even after unprotected intercourse but are beyond our discussion because of your negative status.
Secondly we do not know the status of the girl. Let us consider that she was HIV positive. In an unprotected intercourse with a HIV positive person the HIV viruses gets entered into the body and divides in in numerous numbers(millions of viruses per ml).
After a period of 2-6 week there is mounting of antibodies against the viruses. These antibodies can take at the maximum of 8-10 weeks of the period to get expressed.
There fore the infection can be analyzed by two ways -
-A): By HIV virus detection: done by RNA- PCR. It tells us the number of copies of virus present in per ml of blood. By the latest of methods the viruses can be detected within 2 weeks of period.
B): By HIV antibody Detection: As told earlier once the antibodies appear maximum of 8-10 weeks then these antibodies to HIV virus persist throughout life.
The protocol of the antibody tests done for HIV is as follows: One HIV antibody test at 6-8 weeks and then a follow up final test at 3 months (84 days or 12 weeks).
Antibodies once formed to HIV can never disappear. So if a person has HIV infection, 3 months of period is the time when we say to be fully sure of whether HIV is present or not.
Now you must be worried about window period. To tell you simply about window period- it is the period of entrance of the virus to the detection. Now it depends on the various tests to detect the viruses. In some test it may be up to 6 months but in latest of all the tests done including HIV test (ELISA) with p24 is the latest one which can detect within 6 weeks of period. But for all the standard operating protocols we consider 3 months as standard period for all the cases. So do not get confused with the window period given at different sites or references. Your test at 12 weeks is sufficient to declare your negative status and you do not require any further testing.
Regarding your other of the symptoms - though as I cleared all your doubts regarding HIV but even then you should know certain more points. This quite common to find one or other symptoms which you enumerated in acute anxiety states. You can very well notice that there is no fever (of high grade) in your case which is one of the most common symptoms of HIV.
I request you to kindly do not read by your own on internet anything related to HIV.
Enjoy the weekend with best of your enthusiasm and zeal. My all best wishes for future life ahead.
If you have any further queries I will be glad to help.

Brief Answer:
Negative test means negative & no doubts for it
Detailed Answer:
Hello young fellow,
Welcome again to the forum and thanks for asking further queries.
A negative test for HI means negative and there is no doubt about it. You know the mater of HIV is so sensitive that whenever a report is prepared then utmost care is taken to interpret as well as handing over the report to the person. ICTC center as well as all the private laboratories have all the latest and advanced tests to give you the result.
There is no effect of your previous illness or any other thing on the test report. All the tests and especially those done at 12 weeks and after 15 weeks are confirmatory to give your clear status.
Regarding molluscum contagiosum- in these cases the skin is still been intact so there is no chance of entrance of HIV virus through the intact skin. You probably know that HIV do not spread by skin to skin contact. That is why your reports are negative for HIV.
IN my clinical experience there is no need to go for RNA PCR for HIV even if you want to go for then it would be cent percent negative and therefore will relieve all your tensions for HIV.
I many a times encounter your kind of cases where in anxious states they start reading the symptoms of HIV and start correlating with there own. Stress is such a big thing that person himself do not know when and how they start feeling the same symptoms as they read.
I am not saying all these above thing just to relax you but based on the finding of your tests. In HIV testings timing of testing is quite important. Had you been within 6 -12 weeks of exposure then I would have guided for RNA PCR or ELISA at 12 weeks. But as more than 15 weeks have already elapsed and the antibody tests are negative so just relax about yourself.
To tell you most importantly that in my own clinical experience I have never seen any case negative at 8 weeks and turning positive later on any time. So even the best limit is 12 weeks according to guidelines but in my experience even 8 weeks is suffice.
I can also understand your part of anxiety as a young man to be getting married and therefore understand the seriousness of matter involved with two lives. So believe in me and start thinking other than HIV.
Talk to yourself and say that you are clear. Boost your moral and do not feel guilt for the normal desire accomplished. It is a thing of past now and there is no correlation with present state.
If you have any further queries I will be glad to help.

Brief Answer:
No HIV; no sexually transmitted infections
Detailed Answer:
Hello young fellow,
Welcome again to the forum and thanks for asking further follow up.
So you got it right that if the girl is negative so your status is accordingly clear and negative.
I think you are out of the aura of HIV and its related things. So now you also finally believe that you do not have HIV virus in yourself.
For the further part of queries regarding skin rashes and rest of other things- First foremost you clear your mind regarding any of the possible sexually transmitted infections.
As I guided you for HIV, in the same manner I guide you that you are clear from any other of minor or major sexually transmitted infections after the protected intercourse.
None of the sexually transmitted infections manifest in this manner which you are experiencing.
Regarding the skin rash - there are thousands of reason of skin rash. HIV or any other sexually transmitted infections are not the common cause of it. As per your description it appears to be simple urticaria or commonly known as hives. The rash in urticaria persist for few hours and then disappears by its own.
IN my patients with such kind of problem I generally prefer to give a simple antihistamine like loratadine for one to two times daily.
The symptoms of gagging and swollen throat can be related to urticaria or can be due to simple anxiety states.
The same anxiety can cause perception of joint pain as well different sort of pains including testicular pain too.
So I again reassure you that you do not have either HIV or any other sexually transmitted disease. There is no testing required any further and therefore relax completely.
If still you feel any of the symptoms then can meet a good dermatologist near you get your doubts cleared.
I hope you must be relaxed to know the facts related to the query. If you have any further queries I will be glad to help or if not then can close the query and rate the discussion.
