I agree totally with "greenlydia"!
Totally right! condom that didn't break = NO HIV!
I also agree you should get re-tested for HIV in 3 months NOT because i think you have it, but because i know if will help ease your mind!
I had the HIV fear you have...it went on for years even after i had 3 blood test 6 months apart...lol..eventualy i moved on and started to believe i have Multiple sclerosis due to other symptoms i develeped..I have had 3 MRI's on my brain and they all came up clear....i still worry i have Multiple sclerosis...go figure!?

Boils on your "parts" are not a symptom or sign indicative of HIV...they are usually from a bacteria found in dirt. Everyone has that bacteria on there skin, and as soon as your skin gets a slit in it..that alows that bacteria to get in and cause a boil. Ingrown hairs can cause boils, as can shaving "down there" as can scratching down there too hard!

Take care, hope you feel bette soon :)

If you had protected sex and the condom did not break, you have NO RISK.
If you keep obsessing about it, get tested at 3 months, which is when you will receive conclusive results.
Everything else you described could very well be attributed to anxiety and sinus problems. The boil beneath your scrotum has nothing to do with ARS or HIV. See your doctor for treatment.
Educate yourself about AIDs and other STDs. Knowledge is power.
