Hi,
Having unprotected sex with someone who is HIV positive is risky but it does not mean you will absolutely get it from a single sex act. It is hard to say, however, what the chances are.
But to reduce the stress you're failing go to a doctor and tell you want to be tested for HIV, it is a rather simple blood test and you can get the result back on the same day.
I hope this helped.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.Since you had an unprotected sex with SEXWORKER which is more risk
But you have muscle pain and jointpain which are not related to your sex rightnow.
Any way you have to undergo blood tests like VDRL, HIV 1,2 SLIDE TEST after window period ie after sixmonths ofexposure.
