Infectious Diseases Specialist, Dr. Arun's Response
Hello, Thnx to contact us. If I am your treating doctor I would like to advice you that HIV exposure is only and only possible once it exposes to the abraded area. since you have shaved and licked the vagina there is some chances to be infected with HIV. But you should know about the status of the sex worker. If the status of the sex worker is non reactive you do not have to worry regarding that. But if she is reactive I advice you to start the PEP which is available in most government hospitals free of cost. You can confirm your status after 28 days of PEP with P24 Antigen test, which is earliest confirmatory test. If you have anything else to ask please contact me. Thanx. Dr. Arun Tank
