HIV/AIDS

[rishi]

hi doctor,
i m a 27 yr old guy. i haven't have sex ever, but i have been going to strip clubs where there is vaginal fluid contact and masturbation. About 2 weeks back i had got hurt in my middle finger with glass window of the car. There was a bruise and blood clotted inside the nail and also due to pressure some blood came out that time. It clotted after some time itself. Almost 4 days after the incident i went to a strip club where i was in contact with vaginal fluid on the same finger. I didn't insert the finger in the vagina but rubbed it and the fluid was all over the finger. I rubbed it on my pants and then after some time i went and washed my hand with soap.

After 4-10 days of my exposure, i find symptoms like whitening of tough, swelling of neck and groin lymph glands, slight fever and feet and hand sweats. I had the oral test after 7 days of exposure with negative results. I am waiting for testing it once again after 2 weeks. Please let me know what you think about the exposure.
I am very much worried about it please help me asap.
Best regards.
