Hi Mate, if U visited a legal brothel house. I believe U consummated your expedition with the working ladies in the use of Safety precaution? If so, I think U are relatively safe. Don't over stress yourself n go for the test on the appt date.

Bro, if only 2 weeks after last exposure, the test is not 100 percent accurate.
I know there's RNA testing or such you can do after 2 weeks but that costs a lot.
The quickest I know is the HIV combo test done at 28 days that is accurate and conclusive. A bit more expensive also but about 150 I think.

I know the feeling bro. Went through it myself a year and half ago. That's why I now avoid such activities. If you can't handle the risks, don't do.

Hiv 1/2 combo test is very conclusive at 28 days exposure

If you're the sort that suffers from anxiety attacks and OCD, stay away from brothels and everything else that is potential dangerous.

Not only HIV, u must also get screened for all other possible STD infections, urine test, skin swab, throat swab, blood test for Slyphillis etc.. hurry hurrry

Well you said it yourself man. You are OCD. In other words you are obsessed about the risk of infection and are compelled to think about it over and over again. In fact, you probably feel very uncomfortable if you try to stop yourself thinking about it. That is the medical definition of OCD.

Putting the psychological issues aside, the medical approach to this is simple.

If you do the correct test at the correct time, it will tell you if you are infected or not. It is that straightforward. Everything in between, including worrying and anxiety etc, are all impractical. Being infected or not infected is a fact demonstratable by medical tests.

I complete agree with everyone else here that if your psychological make up is as such, you should not put yourself at any kind of risk. No matter how small. I have seen patients destroy their lives not because they have HIV, but because they are so anxious about it.

I had a patient who literally tested for HIV every week, sometimes a few times a week for 2 years. He has been barred from most clinics for HIV testing. He lost his job, destroyed his marriage and basically destroyed his whole life. The tragedy is that he does NOT have HIV! His anxiety killed him.

Those are probabilities with an infected partner.

If the status of the partner is unknown, you have to multiply those figures by the "probability that the partner is infected" parameter. If the whore was in a legal brothel, that figure is very, very low given that there have been no positive HIV tests for years.
