Hello Doctor I had unprotected sex with a sex worker, we started anal sex with condom however, the condom broke and i with drew immediately and then she gave me a blowjob with out condom. since then i worried of a possible hiv infection and was really stressed out during the first month i had muscle pains and joint pains which have reduced now. I'm worried if it is because of stress of hiv ? it has been months please advise which all test should i undergo?

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.
