First of all just be relaxed. your symptoms are not seems to be due to hiv. It nay be due to some other disease. Persistent fever, chronic diarrhoea, weight loss, weaknesses etv are the symptoms of hiv. But still you have chance of hiv because you are exposed to the unprotected sex with sex worker. Go for hiv testing once go for combo test which include hiv 1 and 2 antibodies and p24 antigen both.
