I had intercourse with a female sex worker. I had used the protection which broke either during or perhaps before penetration. But after I experienced continuous change in sensation, I checked and the condom was broken, at which point I withdrew from the intercourse before ejaculation. I asked the girl about her history and she told me she started having paid sex very recently and that she hadn’t been doing this for too long and told me she was clean, though I can’t trust that totally. Since then, I had severe anxiety and experienced body pain, throat trouble and tiredness etc. I took a CBC test on the 10th day (CBC Report attached). Then, after an exact gap of 10 days post-intercourse, I took the HIV RNA PCR Qualitative test, and the report said "not detected" (PCR report attached- the lower limit of detection of this test was 100 copies / mL). On the same day, I also went to an ENT for throat issue and he prescribed me some medicines (ENT Prescription attached). However, there still seems to be some throat trouble.
However, even after the test, I have been very anxious since my exposure. A few days after the exposure, I started experiencing head itching, which eventually became a bit more and I went to see a dermatologist who I told about my exposure also. He wrote me a prescription for a lotion (Zydiwon) and a tablet (Teczine) for head itching.
Ever since my exposure, I have felt pain in my left wrist. Apart from that, I have a lump on my right collarbone, where it meets the throat. I have had this for about one or months now after exposure. Ever since a few days after exposure, I have occasionally felt mild pain around my chin which comes and goes. Apart from that, sometimes I have some pain in and around my ear and at the back of my head, where I suspect there is some swelling on the left of the back of my head, but I haven’t been to a doctor for this. Recently, I went to a general physician about his and he asked me to get my Uric Acid checked, and I did. My Serum Uric Acid came to be 6.65 against the normal reference value of 3.6 – 7.7 mg/dL (Male). I also notice sometimes a swelling towards my left inguinal region. However, I recall this being there even last year.
Since my exposure, and especially these days, I have been very anxious and stresses regarding the possibility of contracting HIV. I have not taken any test after RNA PCR. I am especially worried since I read it online that scalp itching (seborrheic dermatitis) can be because of HIV and also that persistent swollen lymph nodes or glands are signs of HIV. Kindly go through my reports and advise me. I have been really worried.
