Broken condom

Was told the condom did break. Earlier posts i stated it didnt break but now was told it did. Have made an appt for this Friday.
I have symptoms that are a sore throat,nodes by collar bone swollen but not under jaw,arm pit nodes were but not anymore, no fever or rash, but loose stool that has a green tint to it but not diarrhea. Do any of these make sense? Been 18 days since possible exposure. I have not been as worried about this as to keep from being stressed out. If any std or hiv infection were happening would there be more indicators? I mean would it come and go or all at once? Also lost 5 pounds since it happened.

Update:went  to Dr. gave me antibiotics for my throat. All nodes are fine except collar bone.
Did take blood for test should know Monday . Still have sore neck, throat, loose stool, mild fever 99.4 and under. Dizziness but I think that's from welbutrin.

If your condom broke, you need to be tested.

You can NEVER base your risk on the presence of "symptoms".  Some newly infected people never have one symptom and plenty of people who think they're having HIV related symptoms test negative.

Also, most of the "symptoms" you describe sound a lot like anxiety related sensations/issues.

Test at the appropriate time and try to stay away from the internet in the meantime, you'll convince yourself of all kinds things by doing that.
