your symptoms of headache and throat pain are not related to hiv. but if sex with the prostitue then always risk is there. after using safe sex chance oh hiv infection is almost negligible. but still there is some chance becoz sometimes accidently contacts occur unknowingly. so better you go once for hiv testing. go for hiv 1 and 2 antibodies and p24 antigen test. dont worry. just be relaxed.
