Question : I had sex several times (10 times) with different prostitutes last 6 weeks. I always had condom in, did not do oral sex. I haven't had any HIV symptom at all. I just so worried about I may have HIV. I always cum really fast like a min or 2 minutes. Is there any chance I gonna have it? Any recommendation for me to forget about it, if I don't have it. I am so stressful right now.
Brief Answer:
Your HIV risk is almost nil.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Thanks for posting your query.
You had protected sex each time and not even had any oral sex. Your risk for HIV is almost nil. We HIV physicians used to advise the HIV positive person to have protected sex with their HIV negative spouse (As Living without sex is very difficult) and they remain HIV negative for years. So you need not worry about the possibility of HIV as long as you stick to Protected sex.
You can have HIV test once in three months if you can not avoid your sexual activities outside marriage or monogamy. The non reactive HIV test will relieve unnecessary mental tension.

As you mentioned rightly, even a small head ache you will tend to attribute to HIV as your mind had been disturbed very much. Ruling out the possibility, by a HIV test is the only way to get rid of your phobia totally.
