severe anxiety or HIV infection?

as days go by it grows bigger and bigger. i cant cope with the fear of infection and the anxiety it gives me. just now i had a loose stool again, 9 days after protected vaginal sex. this is my second one in 9 days. idk if this is the viral infection itself or its the food or my anxiety causes this :( why is this happening to me? i was as careful as i could and i know it was a mistake but i used condoms. is it possible that im infected from one time protected vaginal sex? are condoms 100% effective when they are intact? can someone explain me this? can anxiety/stress cause this to a sensitive stomach?

No, testing is not needed for the exposure you describe above. You just need to let it go and you will feel much better.

are condoms 100% effective when they are intact? Yes

can anxiety/stress cause this to a sensitive stomach? YES for sure stomach issues are number 1 with anxiety.

You have nothing to worry about regarding HIV infection as you NEVER had a risk of getting infected

Hope this helps
