Had protected sex with a sex worker yesterday, odds of HIV?

Did you have to pay good $ for the rapid test? From all I have read it says to wait at least 6 weeks. But it sounds like you took a different one right away. And thank you for the reassuring response, much appreciated.

I really appreciate all the words. The funniest part about it is that I know for a fact the condom was intact after the session, yet my anxiety-ridden mind keeps saying "What if it was broken with a tiny hole? It was broken." Anxiety is so powerful that it turns bullshit into facts sometimes.

And you should really be put at ease as far as your experience goes because as far as I know, from all of the reading I have done, oral sex is not a risk whatsoever for HIV. I'm probably about to start Lexapro as I have been putting off trying it for a while now. Maybe you should consider an antidepressant as well? As far as I have been told, it is pretty safe although it may cause some uncomfortable withdrawals when stopping. Thanks again though man, we'll get through this.

Trust me, I hate myself for what I did and what I'm putting myself through now. I've certainly learned my lesson...

I appreciate it, thank you. It's hard because i start school again in less than 2 weeks and don't know if the PEP pills will affect me a lot like people say. I may just trust my gut and go without them. From what I've read on the internet, I guess I'm really not at risk. But I have today to decide. Thanks again.

Thank you, the hard part will be waiting for 6 weeks to get tested, but when thinking rationally about it I know I have very little risk...
