Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome to HCM.
You had protected vaginal and oral sex with worker and the condom was intact through out the act as you had said then there is no risk for HIV.
Oral thrush may be due to some fungal infection & it is getting better now then nothing to worry much. Fatigue can be related to anxiety or fear of HIV.
The window period for HIV has no concern with the use of antibiotics. 3rd week HIV RNA PCR and 6th week 4th generation ELISA both are negative and these tests are highly reliable and accurate.
Don't get scared or tensed about HIV as the risk is not there so be relaxed and move ahead in life. For any further query get back to me again any time.
Thank You

Welcome back once again.
The symptoms are not due to acute HIV infection as there is no risk in your case. The reliability of current test is around 90% but still you have to get tested again at 12 weeks as routine HIV guidelines to get 100% accurate and conclusive result. Don't get anxious or worried and move ahead in life.

Forgot to mention I have undergone CBC and blood culture on 2nd week..WBC 8500 ESR 14 Lymphosyte 22.3
Blood culture report : No culture found for enteric or non entric bacteria.
So made me concerned oral thrush might be symptom of acute Hiv.
Hope everything will be fine on 12th week.
