Answer
Having unprotected sex act always makes one vulnerable to HIV transmission. When one is having sex with commercial sex worker (male or female) the vulnerability is even higher.

The earliest symptoms of HIV infection occur while one’s body begins to form antibodies to the virus (known as seroconversion) between six weeks and three months after infection with the HIV virus. Those who do show early HIV symptoms will develop flu-like symptoms. This can include: fever, rash, muscles aches and swollen lymph nodes and glands. However, for most people, the first symptoms of HIV will not be apparent.

Therefore, please be tested for your STD now status now and move further following doctor’s instruction.

Sincere regards.
