“Am I at risk of HIV?”
I did test myself yesterday (2 weeks, I know, but I thought it would help me reassure) and it come out negative. It didn't help because I still think that my risk was higher with the sex worker. Because it was 2 days ago, I managed to order a PEP that will arrive tomorrow morning (before the 72 hours window). I already paid for it. Am I at significant risk? Is it worth taking the PEP?
I'm also having some symptoms. I know that, if I have symptoms, they are already too late. Regardless, the symptoms are chills without fever and a slightly sore throat. I'm also a bit light-headed.
I know how this sounds like but I'm desperate. I also think that I'm depressed and need help, but I would like some reassurance that I can focus on depression instead of HIV.

UrologistUrologistcareful and stay protected, and considering the type of person you seem to be, you really should just stay away from sex workers. Contact your local county clinic or your primary care physician if you desire any further advice on testing, etc.
