Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I recently have done sex with a massage girl in a parlor, it was the first time that I have done sex in my life. I am not married. The girl asked me to remove my clothes and she massaged me for a while. Then I kissed her in the mouth but for seconds only. Then licked her breasts and nipples more times. Then I just kissed her vagina and try to do oral but I stopped then. I fingered her but she stopped me as I had nails. Then she wore me a condom and I had sex with her but each time I have to take it and place it again and she came above me and did it. I ejaculated and she also cum on my penis with a condom. Then removed my condom and wiped it with a tissue and hugged me and slept for a while. After that day I got a fever, sore throat, and body pain maybe because of the massage. But I am afraid as she has got a lot of customers that if I got the HIV virus. I am having a fever the very next day and also I do not know whether she has got a disease or not. Please help me, am I at a risk? If yes, then what to do next?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for the query. The chances of transmission of HIV by single-protected intercourse are almost nil if a condom is used properly. Symptoms are non-specific and can be due to any respiratory infection. Consult your doctor for examination and management. If it is less than 72 hours of exposure, you can consult your doctor for further risk assessment and the need for PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis). If it is beyond 72 hours you can go for HIV tests now and after three months of exposure.

Thank you.
