What Are The Odds Of Getting HIV After Unprotected Sex?

Hi, I am a 22 year old male. 7 weeks ago I had an encounter with a CSW in mumbai and within the first minute my condom broke and i pulled out immidiately. I am really freaked out and hyper depressed at the thought of contracting HIV.I have pink rashes on my penis. But they used to come before this encounter also.What are the odds of me contracting HIV. I am not being able to gather up the courage to go for testing. I know its stupid but I feel what if i get contracted with the syringe they use for taking my blood or what if i turn out to be positive.Please suggest something. What tests should i take?

Hi, you exposed with high risk person so there is definite chance of getting hiv infection. you have to go for hiv testing. no any harm in that.and dont worry you will notget hiv from needle prick for blood testing. they are using disposable needle. So go for confirmatory hiv testing once after a month of exposure. You can go with p24 antigen or pcr. thanks for using health care magic.
