Am I at risk?
Hello everyone I am new here and after reading a lot I was just hoping someone with knowledge on the topic would give me some advice. I am a 30 year old male in the US. So while on a trip I visited 3 different csw's. here's what took place:
csw 1) received protected oral, had protected vaginal for about a min, ejaculated outside.. condom looked intact afterwards.
csw 2) received protected oral, had protected vaginal for a few min, no ejaculation.. condom looked intact afterwards
csw 3) protected vaginal, handjob until ejaculation no condom.. condom looked intact after protected vaginal
So from what I understand if a condom breaks, you will definitely know right? When I was taking the condom off every time it was still tight and seemed fine after each encounter. Should I have any concerns and How great is my risk? Should I stop all physical interaction with my gf? I got carried away and regret doing any of this but I just want to move on, any help would be much appreciated.

Since you had both protected vaginal AND protected oral, you never had a risk for either HIV or STD's.
The hand job was not a risk for anything.
You are correct that if a condom breaks, you would know it as they do NOT get little holes or tears in them.........rather, when they break, they break catastrophically. There is virtually nothing left but the ring at the base of your penis and a few shreds of latex.
Please relax and do not worry about having sex with your girlfriend. You do NOT have HIV or an STD.

Thank you I really appreciate your response, I will try to put this behind me and move on. Enjoy your evening!
So just a follow up, I've been feeling a bit unwell the past couple days with a fever and chills, also tough to swallow saliva as if there's something in my throat. I went ahead and took a 4th gen combo test at 21 days (14 days for the third encounter of the 3). Does this test on these days mean anything? I know 28 days in conclusive but is there any reliability on days 14, 18 and/or 21? As I mentioned before I'm pretty sure there was no condom failure and I keep telling myself if the condom was intact I was protected, but of course I find myself on the internet again. Is there any risk at all from protected vaginal intercourse? Or should I just test again to be sure? Thanks again.

As RubyWitch told you, there is no risk of HIV from what you did. You interact with others who carelessly cough on you or surfaces that you touch, so getting a flu at any time is to be expected.
A test can't work if it isn't done per the instructions.
The best thing you can do if you seek peace is quit surfing Google for disease because it is guaranteed to make you more anxious.
You mentioned regret earlier, however there is no reason to regret what you did. If you stop regretting you will have a better chance to focus on the advice/fact you had no risk - so it was a non-event for HIV.

Thank you for your response, I will keep this in mind. I appreciate what you all do on here!
