I visited 5 different massage parlors over the last 6 weeks and I received a hand job and was anally fingered at each one. Before I visited the first massage parlor I took PrEP (Truvada) for 7 days. I have continuously taken PrEP every day since. Was the 7 days enough time to give me full protection?

About 2 weeks ago, after every day I went to the gym, I started experiencing body aches. These symptoms went away for five days when I took a break from the gym. They returned once I started going again, and now I’m feeling sick with body aches, fatigue, and a slight sore throat.

Is there any chance I could have acquired HIV? I have a few concerns. The first is that my immune system might already be weakened by HIV, and I know that working out vigorously can tax the immune system, which could explain why I’m getting sick.

My other concern is that there might have been blood on one of the women’s hands and that it could have come into contact with one of my mucous membranes. I know Truvada is quite effective, but I’m worried that I may have been exposed to a resistant strain of HIV. I live on the west coast of North America, and all the women at these massage parlors were of Asian descent.

Ultimately, I would like the most up to date expert advice which is why I’m reaching out here. I want to make sure I don’t infect my wife once we have sex again. Thank you so much for your help!
